About this user

Josh Pyke is a musical tailor. Using melody and narrative as his threads, he seamlessly stitches together diverse elements of life to form the fabric of songs that are timeless, full of emotion and emphatically honest.

On his debut album 'Memories & Dust', the Sydney songsmith has realised the potential promised on his ARIA Award nominated EP 'Feeding The Wolves', and woven together a host of beautifully crafted songs into one, magical whole.

With production credits shared between the much-lauded Wayne Connolly (You Am I, The Vines, Youth Group) and Josh himself, the album was mixed in part by Connolly in Sydney and in part by Michael Brauer (The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Coldplay, My Morning Jacket) in New York.

The pattern for Josh to release 'Memories & Dust' worldwide was laid out when Ivy League Records inked a deal with Island/Universal (UK) in mid-2006 via the label's managing director Dan Keeling, who made his mark signing global superstars Coldplay. No mean feat, but not so hard to understand given Josh's ability to write songs with such strong melodies that they manage to sew themselves under your skin and remain there.

Since then, Josh has toured the UK twice, garnering a mass of fans and critical acclaim with his accomplished live performances. BBC Nottingham was particularly glowing in its review of one of Josh's performances:

"He is a songsmith who knows his craft... Dylan is still the new Dylan. But Josh Pyke is set to be the new Josh Pyke." 5/5

Similarly, Josh stitched his name into the hearts and minds of Australian music fans when he burst onto the scene only 12 months ago. His track 'Middle Of The Hill' quickly found favour with Triple J listeners, coming in at #19 on the annual 'Hottest 100' poll. Sold-out headline tours of the nation followed, as did tours with the likes of Eskimo Joe and Bob Evans, plus slots on the country's largest music festivals including Big Day Out, Splendour In The Grass and Falls Festival.

The praise from Australian critics has been there from the outset, and fans have responded in like, with the 'Feeding The Wolves' selling EP selling a massive 16,000 copies. Of the EP, critics were full of praise:

"Josh Pyke is a genius songwriter... here you have an artist that will capture your heart." -- Daily Telegraph

"He's the consummate balladeer" -- Sun Herald

"Genuinely lovely" -- The Age

"It's obvious that Josh's future is grand" -- Drum Media
