double vinyl with 5 bonus songs plus an 18 track cd. joshua james has been writing and singing songs for only six short years, but the 25-year-old heartland poet has the perspective of a wise, old soul. on his second album, 'build me this', the follow-up to his critically acclaimed 'the sun is always brighter', produced by industry veteran shannon edgar, james expands his musical palette to foreboding doom-laden hard rock. progressing from folkish harmonies, to country twang, world beats and southern home rock while further exploring themes of spiritual searching. possessing a whispery and intimate vocal style that works its way into the ear peacefully and directly, joshua james is pitched midway between seminal influences like bob dylan and neil young. the music on 'build me this' is so layered and dense that each time you listen, you hear something new. james makes terrific use of strings and piano, giving even the simplest tune depth and he shifts tempo often during songs, adding interest. the lyrics are poetic and intricate and while their meaning can be ambiguous or their darkness off-putting, especially given james's impressive ability to paint vivid word pictures, their unabashed emotion is irresistible.
