Joseph - 'Good Luck, Kid'


The new album by sisterly trio Joseph, Good Luck, Kid is out on 13th September from ATO Records


The trio comprising of sisters, Natalie Schepman and her twin sisters Allison and Meegan Closner, grew up in a musical household, yet did not sing together until a few years ago when the band formed in 2014 when Natalie asked the sisters to form a band.

Taking their name from grandfather Jo, and the tiny Oregon town of Joseph where he lived, the sisters have hit upon a sound that is familiar but can only be nutured by a familial bond together. The harmony on this album is otherworldy, which goes hand in hand with the empowering lyrics that runs through the album - a quiet simmering intensity runs through the road movie as album concept that 'Good Luck, Kid' becomes.

Narratives of the songs give an example of three girls transforming along this odyssey, as they start quietly the songs become soaring anthems full of emotion and boldness.

For fans of First Aid Kit, Fleet Foxes alike; the trio utilise their strengths to create a memorable album of unique potential and vocal alchemy. And one befitting the change of the seasons, as we move from summer into autumn, Good Luck, Kid, is an album that demands repeat listens as the nights draw in.

From lead single, 'Fighter' the band have a great ear for catchy tunes to the most recent single 'Green Eyes' a pulsating shot of adrenaline to our mere mortal earlobes that refuses to let go of your attention.

11th November -Hare and Hounds, Birmingham
