Josiah Wolf
Published 7:00 am Tuesday, May 25, 2010
Best known as drummer of indie rock meets hip-hop act WHY?, multi-instrumentalist Josiah Wolf used his wide array of experience and expertise to create a 12-track opportunity to step out from the bands shadow: his debut solo effort, Jet Lag. But its not an issue of sibling rivalry: younger brother and WHY? frontman Yoni mixed the record, and Josiahs wistful vocals often reach toward the same falsetto as his younger brotherand in doing so achieve the same contemplative effect. The ethereal and psychedelic pop melodies are filled with bells and flowing organ chords that fade in and out like a pleasant breeze. Subtly co-opting some of WHY?s finer moments, Josiah Wolf makes for a smart and heartfelt listen. With The Donkeys, AU. NICK FELDMAN
