Subpop(US) and Bella Union(UK) have released Vetiver’s ‘Tight Knit’ (2009)\, ‘The Errant Charm’ (2011) and Complete Strangers (2015)\nwww.vetiverse .com\n\nJosh Rouse  “Like a baseball player who quietly hits 30 home ru ns every year or a golfer who regularly finishes in the Top Ten\, Josh Rou se's continued streak of excellence is easy to ignore and maybe even downp lay a little” -- Tim Sendra\, Allmusic.com\nRouse’s songs present them selves to you with an open heart\, an innate intelligence and an absolute lack of pretension. They are clear-eyed\, empathetic and penetrating. With out pandering\, they seek to satisfy both your ear and your understanding. \nJosh Rouse was born in Nebraska\, and following an itinerant upbringing he eventually landed in Nashville where he recorded his debut Dressed Like Nebraska (1998). The album’s acclaim led to tours with Aimee Mann\, Mar k Eitzel and the late Vic Chestnut. The follow up- Home (2000)—yielded t he song “Directions” which Cameron Crowe used in his film Vanilla Sky. \n“Every time I’ve made a record\, I’ve tried to make it different f rom the last one\,” says Rouse. “I always became fascinated by a diffe rent style of music. But at the end of the day\, no matter how eclectic I try to make it\, it’s my voice and melodic sensibility that tie things t ogether.”For his breakthrough album\, 1972 (2003)\, Rouse decided to che er up a bit. Noting that he’d earned a reputation for melancholy\, he sa ys\, with a laugh\, “I figured this is my career\, I might as well try t o enjoy it.” While the Seventies are often identified with singer-songwr iters\, Rouse was primarily attracted to the warmer sound of albums back t hen\, as well as the more communal feel of the soul music of that time. Th e follow up\, Nashville (2005) continued the hot streak and expanded his a udience further.\nAfter relocating to Valencia\, Spain with his wife Paz\, Rouse has released a steady stream of high quality songs and albums. Subt itulo (2006) contained the international indie folk hit "Quiet Town". On E l Turista (2010) he even experimented with writing and singing some songs in Spanish. In 2014\, he won a Goya Award (the Spanish equivalent of an Os car) for best song for "Do You Really Want To Be In Love\," from the film 'La Gran Familia Española.'\nThe Embers of Time\, was one of his stronges t—self-described as “my surreal\, ex-pat\, therapy record.” He follo wed that up with Love In the Modern Age\, which took its musical inspirati on from the thinking man’s pop of the eighties: The Blue Nile\, Prefab S prout and the Style Council. And in 2019 he tackled the Christmas album on The Holiday Sounds of Josh Rouse but instead of well-worn carols or class ics\, he wrote an entire record of original holiday themed pop songs. www. joshrouse.com\n\n[embedyt] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kzjnbPx06pk[/em bedyt]\n\n[embedyt] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OS1q-uFgGDo[/embedyt] ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.lewesconclub.com/wp-content/uploads/ 2021/04/JoshR2022-scaled.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:Europe/London X-LIC-LOCATION:Europe/London BEGIN:STANDARD DTSTART:20211031T010000 TZOFFSETFROM:+0100 TZOFFSETTO:+0000 TZNAME:GMT END:STANDARD END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
