Reviews:
"Throughout Scrappy Art Rock…, there’s a sense of things refracting: the feeling of being in love, being high, being fast, being fascinated, being in a rush, being laconically slow, being in time. Thorpe’s dynamic tones and kinetic guitar-playing take us veering between moments of brightness and sheer oddness, joy, reflection. In songs like ‘I Can’t Slow Down’, he makes us dwell in steady friction, then rewards us with a good crunchy solo." -Maria Sledmere "Gently swaying guitars and a warm, Lou Reed-like vocal lead gives “The Light” a captivating feel from the get-go....This is a fine effort from Josh Thorpe, a Canadian painter, writer, and songwriter now living in Glasgow, UK. After years of making experimental and ambient music, he’s giving a successful go at a more rock-oriented format." -Mike Mineo, Obscure Sound |
