1972

Josh Rouse

A masterfully crafted homage to the warm, melodic soft rock of the early 1970s. Breezy flutes, sepia-toned arrangements, and intimate, wistful storytelling.

A warm, sun-drenched nostalgia that feels both comforting and slightly lonely.

Moments Worth Listening For
The breezy flute melody that opens the title track, immediately setting a 1970s AM radio tone.
The sudden, lush string swell during the bridge of 'James' that elevates the domestic narrative.
The weary, vulnerable delivery of the line '30 years old and nothing's changed' on the closing track.
Where This Album DepartsEach spoke is a trait. The orange shape shows where this album pulls away from — or holds to — the rest of the artist’s catalogue. Tap for more.
