New York, NY (Top40 Charts) There is nothing like the sound of siblings singing together. Whether it's the Everly Brothers, the
Beach Boys or First Aid Kit, absorbing the same breathing rhythms and speech patterns adds an element to vocal harmonies that can be pure magic. With the August 26 release of 'I'm Alone, No You're Not' (ATO Records), the mesmerizing, hypnotic sound of the trio known as Joseph - sisters Allison, Meegan, and
Natalie Closner - joins this elite company.
'I'm Alone, No You're Not' was produced by Mike Mogis (Bright Eyes, Jenny Lewis), and features eleven original songs exploding with a mystical exuberance and heart-on-sleeve emotion. In advance of the album's release, Joseph have already been named a 2016 Spotify Spotlight artist, toured with
James Bay, and confirmed festival performances this summer at Sasquatch, Bonnaroo, Glastonbury, Pickathon and more. They'll also join
Michael Kiwanuka for a European run, and reconnect with
James Bay this fall for his next US tour, including dates at
Radio City
Music Hall, The Ryman Auditorium and more.
Choosing their name in deference to their grandfather Jo, and the tiny Oregon town of Joseph where he lived,
Natalie Closner and her younger twin sisters Meegan and Allison, grew up in a musical household, but didn't sing together until just a few years ago. Joseph officially formed when Natalie, an aspiring performer looking for a creative jolt, asked her sisters to form a band together. They quickly discovered their gift for songwriting and vocal alchemy.
'I'm Alone, No You're Not' is a master class in pristine 3-part harmony, traversing melodies and rhythms that are indelible and ambitious. Lead single "
White Flag" is a cathartic rallying cry, with the sisters' voices starting as a hum, then verging on a scream by the chorus. The anthemic album opener, "Canyon," channels
Fleetwood Mac at their soaring finest. Elsewhere golden, shimmering pop songs are tucked next to the most delicate ballads: love lost and found, amplified by three unwavering voices.
