Hyslop - Where the Mountain Meets the Valley

2012 debut full-length from the Vancouver-based singer/songwriter. Where the Mountain Meets the Valley encompasses Hyslop's beautiful melodies and showcases his unforgettable vocal harmonies. Joshua Hyslop can be described as a modern folk musician, an amalgam of influence in the classically romantic tradition of Damien Rice, Ryan Adams, Iron and Wine, and Sufjan Stevens. Like the said proclaimed folksters before him, Joshua is inspired to write largely as a result of the people and relationships surrounding him, while also subjecting his songs to his own vulnerabilities, doubts, and conflicts. He integrates these revelations with his agenda of lyrical candidness, creating an expressive and open art form.
