Joseph - I'm Alone, No You're Not

Named after their grandfather, Joseph is a trio of Portland-based sisters whose work delves into country, folk, rock, and indie pop. Their sophomore LP, I'm Alone, No You're Not impressively showcases their formidable musical skills - namely, their ability to compose tight, often heartbreaking harmonies. Album opener "Canyon" is a haunting, commanding Americana love song, "White Flag" is an ultra-catchy folk pop number, and final track "Sweet Dreams" is dark, lush, cinematic, and evocative. The album is rooted in raw, emotional power which is accentuated by the glimmering Polish of producer Mike Mogis (Bright Eyes).
