Email this... Joshua Hyslop - Vancouver-based singer/songwriter treads lightly into Damien Rice, Sam Beam, William Fitzsimmons and Sufjan Stevens territory...album is out now digitally with physical EP release due soon in Canada, U.S. to follow...full length in production now, stay tuned // Release: Cold Wind EP (July 19, Nettwerk) // Sounds like: soft-spoken acoustic songs melding minimalist classic folk/pop trappings with contemporary neo-folk melodies...Hyslop credits stylistic inspiration for his new songs from a recent extended trip to India // Quote: “One of those superbly talented performers that seems to come from out of nowhere. Young Mr. Hyslop has a singer-songwriter maturity far beyond his years.” Mark Rheaume – CBC Radio // What we like: the simple luxury of the production, framing Hyslop's airy voice -- reminiscent at times of John Mayer's early acoustic excursions -- with delicately arranged instrumentation...the best of the lot: the comparatively upbeat "If I Were A Better Man" with an immaculate instrumental break...
