about
Listed on the CBC the Signal's Top Albums of 2011
"Quite possibly the most haunting song we’ve heard this year...The alchemy is remarkable. The sense of dislocation is palpable"
John Sakamoto - the Toronto Star writing about "Already Gone"
"From start to finish, Joshua keep you engaged but when he hits his stride – like he does on the airy, electronic heavy “Already Gone” or when he delivers a well paced metamorphosis from a country lament to an atmospheric escape on the closer, “Before You Sleep” – you hear an artist with the potential to stand side by side with the talent he normally sits behind."

"...it’s easy to see why his music has been used in theatre and TV: it’s fresh, accessible sonic experimentation, as inviting as it is unpredictable."
NOW Magazine
"Toronto musician/composer and producer Joshua Van Tassel has special musical powers. Together with his guitar, his unmatchable drumming skills and fearless electronic experimentalism (as well as his magic wand, obviously) he creates music to soundtrack every part of your day and night. On his latest self-titled album glowing bursts of synths, echoing percussion and stunning melodies collide to create a beautifully complete collection of strange-folk pop lullabies."
