He has a very earthy / folk feel about him. I liked the violin element, unusual romantic sound even though it was very upbeat. I noticed a song called 'Goldmine' it really stood out for me, beautiful harmonies. Nice vocal range from Josh, there is a lot of musical and vocal energy in the whole performance.

'Such a great speed' was another lovely song; it is apparently out in the UK in spring / summer. I liked the use of percussion from the drummer. You could tell this Australian man plays with a lot of passion.

Check Josh Pyke at The Borderline on the 26th Feb, definitely worth a look.
