Review
"On the Other Side" is a beautiful tapestry of sound woven by Josh Edwards, the talented artist behind Blanco White. Released in 2020, this 11-track album is a journey through Edwards' musical world, blending alternative and indie sounds with folk and Latin influences. The standout single "Papillon" really sets the stage for what's to come, showcasing intricate guitar work and soothing vocals that are characteristic of the entire album.
I found myself completely absorbed in the 48-minute duration, with each track carefully crafted to evoke a specific mood or place. Edwards' experiences and travels shine through in his songwriting, exploring themes of introspection and personal growth. It's fascinating how he manages to create such a unique sound by weaving together different musical traditions.
The production on this album is really something special. Every note feels purposeful, contributing to an overall atmosphere of contemplative elegance. For fans of indie and alternative music who appreciate nuanced storytelling and musical innovation, "On the Other Side" is definitely worth a listen. It's a testament to Edwards' artistic depth and versatility, offering a truly engaging experience from start to finish. - Erika
