Joseph Parsons - Holy Loneliness Divine

Holy Loneliness Divine is the latest and final album of the Joseph Parsons Band (JPB), after which the members followed their individual musical paths. To commemorate this final culmination, the band has recorded an album that fully reflects their signature sound, born out of countless recording sessions and live shows. From the opening anthem Dreaming a Universe, the biting songs describe the world's path to a troubled future and find hope on its not-so-inevitable path. The album is a rock record that plumbs the depths of traditional instruments - drums, bass, electric and acoustic guitars, keyboards - with a touch of modern flavours to accentuate moods and provide ear candy for the headphone enthusiasts among us. The production is almost as big a part of Parsons palette as the songwriting itself. When played solo, the songs hold up beautifully, showcasing the range of Parsons offbeat songwriting style. In the studio, the band s full, uncluttered arrangements expand these boundaries and bring the listener an enhanced musical range of each of the songs. This is underpinned throughout by soaring electric guitar solos and immaculate vocals.
