In an era marked by uncertainty and rapid change, Joe felt compelled to rescue these songs from hard drive obscurity, so they could reach whoever might find them — or be found by them. Full Time Hobby will be the second release, offering more story-driven songs with a live, organic feel. Both albums are brought to life visually by the legendary Lawrence Watson, whose cover photography captures the spirit of these records.
Dive in, take a listen, and perhaps find a new companion in these times of uncertainty. How did these experiences shape the themes and emotional depth of the songs on Durable Human and Full Time Hobby? I just had a strong sense of many songs sitting silently on my hard drive and wanted to give them a space to be heard and shared by whoever they connected with.
So more than inspiring the actual narrative themes of the lyrics, the loss of a few people close to me and the parallel sense of an increased unraveling, deeper division and fractured human connection, focused me to re visit and finish some older songs and to write, record and complete newer ones. How do you see your music as a response to the current global situation, and what do you hope listeners take away from these songs during such turbulent times?
Diversity has always been my musical experience, I like one song by someone and not many more etc, I guess Im not that stylistically set.
