Every Feeling On A Loop

Double vinyl LP pressing. On the cusp of releasing his first-ever solo album, Every Feeling on a Loop, songwriter Josiah Johnson is aware he wasn't supposed to be here. Just five years ago when he took a leave of absence from the acclaimed indie-folk band, The Head and the Heart, the question was less where Johnson's star would take him and more whether his struggles with addiction would end his music career. But then, he wasn't supposed to be there, either. On Every Feeling on a Loop, lush musical arrangements and harmonies support Johnson's baritone crooning. At times, the songs sound like prayers. At others, his exuberance feels like the euphoria he'd always sought, this time hard-earned and wiser. He says he feels like a new person making it, charting his journey out of the dark into the wide awake of the morning, using the magic that was his all along.
