Joseph Scott makes richly textured and euphoric electronica for dreamers. Maybe the fact that he is a bedroom musician explains why I feel like his music is perfect bedroom listening. Like the kind where you lie in bed with big headphones and closed eyes. Hot waterbottle optional.
'You Keep Me Hidden' is his fantastic new EP and we are exclusively giving you two of the songs to download for free.
To say that Joseph is a relative unknown and yet he has home-produced such a well crafted collection here shows a lot of promise. The vocals are often lost in a warm haze of harmony which leaves the listener to interpret their own meanings, or even visualise floating on peaceful waves and fireworks brightly exploding in frantic pulses of emotion.
The opening song 'You Keep Me Hidden' fills the senses with ethral beauty in each lingering note. The glitchy tempo breathes life into 'What We Do Right Is Wrong' and it turns into a seriously lush shoegaze daydream. 'Celeste' immerses you as it goes from quiet to loud to quiet again, providing some shape-making beats along the way. Closer 'In Youth' certainly takes you to a Summer afternoon, in a park somewhere feeling the Sun's heat on your skin, then it finishes all too soon whilst still echoing in your ears.
The whole EP can be listened to on his myspace page here...
