Vance Joy

This week I would like to introduce you all to an artist at the very beginning of the musical journey.  There is no fancy side projects or media driven hype that souround him, just one song posted on Triple J's Unearthed website, one super awesome song!

Vance Joy is the name,  James Keogh and  Ed White are the artists, apart from this and the fact that he is from Melbourne, the rest is a mystery.  

I dare you not to enjoy this song, produced in a bedroom and driven by a ukelali and a simple foot tapping beat, it delivers a 70's feel that would have fit straight onto the bill at Woodstock, a free and easy feeling of 'Joy', how ironic!  The track is beautifully constructed, the lyrics are strong and emotional, and it has an almost earthy feel to it which adds to it's original and exciting flavour! This is a track that is certainly not overproduced, infact it's lo-fi feel is strangly reassuring, just a couple of musicians creating beautiful music without all the added extras,


Although I would never admit to being the first person to spread the word of Vance Joy I can tell you one thing, with only 177 'Likes' on his facebook page this is certainly one artist that you can follow and know you were a fan from the beginning.
