If like me you're a fan of modern folk from the likes of Matthew & The Atlas, Ben Howard and Fleet Foxes, I reckon you'll enjoy this new (ish) tune from Brighton's Josh McGovern. Premiering the video for The Devil Below Me at the end of August, The Independent called Josh "an accomplished, intriguing new talent" and they're certainly not wrong there. The track is my first introduction to Josh and I've gone on to check out a live video of his tune Brother, equally intriguing and just as brilliant a tune!
About the new track, Josh says that "I really wanted to make a video that would complement the story of the song. I guess it’s all about burying your past problems. The video was filmed and edited by my good friend and filmmaker Sam Shaw. It took five separate shoots to film because we were battling the English weather but it ended up being something that I’m really proud of.” With a depth of tone reminiscent of the likes of George Ezra and Joseph J Jones, the track is a beautiful combination of folk and daydreaming Americana, with sweeping harmonies that have cemented themselves into the front of my mind after a few repeated listens - I'll certainly be looking out for more from this young artist!
