Description
The tiny breath right before the chorus in Smoke Slow tells you how close this record lets you sit. Joshua Bassett’s Sad Songs In A Hotel Room gathers six spare, late-night confessions and gives them a proper 45RPM milky clear LP treatment. On the title track, fingerpicked guitar and a soft shaker frame his voice with more space than the digital versions, while imaging lands each element neatly in the room. Lifeline hits hardest, his piano and vocal sitting upfront without glare, rising to a prayer instead of a yell.
It’s a set that fits beside Gracie Abrams, though Bassett leans more conversational and boy-next-door than gauzy. LA still stings, a postcard half-sung to the city and half to himself, and this pressing makes the small dynamics—the sighs, the picked harmonics—feel intentional rather than incidental. Late tram across Melbourne, headphones on, is its natural habitat.
If you’d rather order online, you can buy Joshua Bassett records online with us.
Packaging looks sharp and the milky clear finish suits the mood without shouting for attention. The upgrade here is subtle but real: the space opens up around his vocal and the stereo picture clicks into focus, letting these songs breathe like they were tracked yesterday.
