Josephine and The Artizans
are more of a collective than a band as there are at least 10 of them which
makes each song almost an isolated incident to be considered solo. 'Let Me Go' is
different from the band's previous single, 'Lacrymosa', as this is a more
filmic and more dramatic but the band retain their classical, near operatic
edge that sets them apart from pretty much any other band around at the moment.
And then there is the furiously paced rapping and big, booming drums that drags
this tune from Classic FM across to....well, that's just it. The problem with
being a boundary defying, genre blending group of highly skilled musicians is
there isn't really a scene set up for you to fit in to. Great from an artistic
point of view but tricky from a promotional angle. Hopefully somebody on the alternative
scene will take a punt and give them some airplay.
Live Dates:
7th February - Barfly, Camden
