April 10, 2012
Daytrotter session is finally up! Recorded this w/ Bob Parins on bass back in the summer of 2010. Apparently, he’s the sad guy with the hat on, and I’m the guy with the brown hair and lipstick…

"Josh Mease has put together one of the strongest debuts I've heard this year....Wilderness is beautifully crafted with some lovely melodies and harmonies. Mease has a warm and distinctive voice, and a real ear for arrangements that sound lush without becoming too cluttered. It's the kind of album I can fall in love with from the opening notes of the first track."Powered by Hackadelic Sliding Notes 1.6.4
"In such work, arrangements are crucial, and Mease resists the temptation to add clutter. Even when the setting seems fancy, with clavinet and backing choirs, the recording is spare—he is confident in his songs."Powered by Hackadelic Sliding Notes 1.6.4
"Heavily reverbed piano, guitar arpeggios, fluttering synths, walls of wordless backing vocals and jazz-inspired chord changes produce a heady brew....[D]ebuts this promising are rare"Powered by Hackadelic Sliding Notes 1.6.4
"[T]he farther you wander into his new “Wilderness,” the more it feels like you’re leaving behind the known world and moving into some surreal facsimile of it."Powered by Hackadelic Sliding Notes 1.6.4

Some NY Times Love For 713 > 212!!!
January 17, 2011
Had a great time being a part of Jason Moran’s 713>212 shows this weekend. Here’s a review from the NYTimes…
“If you looked a little beyond jazz, you saw Josh Mease and Alan Hampton, putting crazy chord sequences into something like folk-pop, and Bryan-Michael Cox, who was writing and producing for R&B stars.”
“Some very good music went down…And Mr. Mease, who seems to love the intimacy and chord changes in Paul McCartney and Brian Wilson’s work, made his case with music that kept alternately settling you and waking up your ear through harmony.”
Excited for this one. Going to be playing a different kind of set w/ 2010 MacArthur Fellow Jason Moran and a cast of amazing Houston-born, turned NYC musicians. Check HERE for tickets and info…
