JOSHUA BURNSIDE

Joshua Burnside is an experimental folk  songwriter, singer and producer. He takes influence from alternative electronica and Irish  folk, chopping and blending them with a mixture of found sounds, world music and unorthodox  production methods. Whilst his first album Ephrata took in lush landscapes, technological horrors, night terrors  and wistful columbian vistas (set against a bed of  Irish folk, cumbia rhythms, and electronica), his second Into The Depths Of Hell, took a far  darker approach. Melding swirls of clanging  metallic found sounds, alt-rock and Irish  songwriting traditions, it was supported by UK  and US national radio and international tastemakers NPR, Guitar Magazine, CLASH, The  Guardian, The Times and more. His forthcoming third album (shortly to be announced), sits comfortably and confrontationally between the alt folk realms of Lankum and John Francis Flynn whilst retaining the indie singer-songwriter and  traditional folk elements of Josh's signature  songwriting.

MEMORIAL

Memorial is a project rooted in friendship, one fuelled by unflinching honesty. Ollie Spalding and Jack Watts were friends first, and songwriting partners second, and this quality sets them apart. They’re marked by that peculiar alchemy when two voices become one, a special sense of human connection wrought through harmony and emboldened with experience.
