Many Worlds, One Voice.
The music of Joseph Laurence® - A UK songwriter and composer making warm, cinematic songs. Every record is its own world - From theme-park nostalgia to a neon stadium and a sci-fi sky - with one thread running through them all: a melody that would not leave me alone until it was written down.
Two Eras, Many Worlds.
Two upcoming albums lead the way - The Inner Circle, a warm, anthemic record about family, and Alton After Dark, a cinematic album devoted to the park after dark. Around them sits The Modern Age: the music out now, from the single The Runaway Mine Train to the Arcadian Sky Trilogy, Béres by the Sea, Surfing With Piano Joe and the neon spectacle of Atlas Stadium.
