Wasted The hopeful tones originally explored with "Love in the Modern Age" appears to have matured into this more electronic offering.

Tracks I, III and VII could form the basis of a future instrumental album of incredible power. Eagerly awaiting! Favorite track: Color De Vida.

Sylvain L A refrescado Josh Rouse, what a pleasure! I've been a fan since the early days but must admit the last few albums felt a bit of a repetition.
But on this new album, Josh's great songwriting skills applied to electro make a great cocktail. Like a Pina Colada that gets you just tipsy enough to smile at the universe again.
Great one for the summer and beyond. Favorite track: 12 Bars.

thequietcanon All the seemingly effortless melodies you'd come to expect from Mr. Rouse. A criminally under appreciated master of songwriting. Favorite track: It's Not That Far.

sdldawn Incredible album by Josh. I would love to see him venture down the electronic/organic sound anytime. It’s such a welcoming sound for his voice. One of his best Favorite track: Night Moves.
