Come to Where I’m From and the Junkyard Heart‘s EP’swere released on July 30th in Europe!

The Junkyard Hearts EP’s have been released as a special two CD set that includes all four EP’s.

2000's 'Come To Where I'm From,' Joseph's second album for the label was co-produced by the mighty T-Bone Burnett., It's a dense, attractively claustrophobic record, full of delightful contradictions: unnerving and reassuring, raw and yet meticulously compiled.

'I wanted to get the songs down in a way that was true to them and true to myself. I really wanted them to have humanity in them. I wanted an element of a gamble in it. I think too much music sounds too contained. I wanted it to sound like it could go out of control at any minute. I didn't want it produced to death.'

Two years on from Come To Where I'm From - and proving that he's ever his own man - Joseph released a quartet of EPs (under the collective name of Junkyard Hearts) that were only available on his UK tour of 2002. A decade on, these scarce-as-hen's-teeth recordings have been reissued in a two-CD set, allowing those unable to attend that tour the chance to give some love to these half-forgotten gems. They very much demand your attention - 19 confirmations of a man at the peak of his substantial powers.
