New Wave Graveyard [Vinyl LP]

Josh Da Costa - New Wave Graveyard [Vinyl LP]

Josh da Costa makes his solo debut with New Wave Graveyard, an album which pays tribute to a spectrum of underground music and carves out a new niche. Josh da Costa imagined his solo debut album New Wave Graveyard as a “greatest hits from a parallel universe, classic songs from an alternate reality.” He says, “Instead of trying to home in on one specific vibe or sound and capturing it over the course of, say, a month of my life, I chose to sort of chameleon my way through my own taste and record collection and try out different approaches to songwriting – as if I were more than just one artist.” New Wave Graveyard might draw on the ‘70s and ‘80s genre that gives the album its name, but new wave is one of many of Josh da Costa’s musical inspirations – the album is a beautiful soup of styles and ideas, from glam to shoegaze, all informed by Josh’s eclectic taste. With witty lyrics and an abundance of catchy songs, New Wave Graveyard is a thrilling statement from an exciting new artist. A1. Skygirl A2. Proving Me Right A3. Cordelia A4. Shireen A5. Tissues B1.
