It’s the thesis for the band as its members try and figure out who they are and what they want to do after achieving big tours and millions of song streams.”  American Songwriter    “As always with the group, band synergy is one thing, but harmonies between sisters like those offered here just can’t be faked. “Nervous System” kicks off the new era for Joseph with a bright, empowering spark.” Consequence    “That’s a song that’s going to help a lot of people. It’s a smash” Zane Lowe    “The Closner sisters sing beautifully, sure, but they share their voices in the service of songs about fearlessness, commitment and the pursuit of a life fully lived” NPR Music  April 28,  2023 – Today, indie pop trio JOSEPH release their magnificent new album The Sun, out today on ATO Records. The sisters fourth LP is their most honest, heartfelt and healing album to date, inspired by the sisters’ emotional breakthroughs, therapy sessions, and decision to harness life on their own terms. With new collaborators and a refreshed commitment to the band, the three sisters embrace a newly emboldened stadium-ready pop sound that allow their 3-part harmonies to shine brighter than ever and invite listeners to ask the question “what if i’m more than I think I am?”    Listen to The Sun  here: https://atorecords-ffm.com/josephthesun   Watch “Fireworks” Music Video Here   Tonight, their US tour kicks off in San Francisco at The Fillmore, and heads to LA’s Belasco Theatre Saturday night. Full dates below.  Learn more about JOSEPH’s VIP Meet & Greet Experience for The Sun Tour here   Over the course of The Sun’s 10 soul-stirring tracks, each member of Joseph adds new texture and detail to the album’s emotional arc by sharing her own distinct viewpoint on the journey toward self-realization. On the sweetly emphatic lead single “Nervous System,” for instance, Allison opens up about learning to undo the thought patterns that contributed to her longtime struggle with anxiety. “The Sun” was inspired by Meegan’s experience in working through the lessons of a past relationship and the moody cinematic grand opening “Waves Crash” was inspired by Natalie’s inquisitive self-reflection and unlearning religious doctrine.    “All of our therapists were a huge influence on this album,” Meegan noted. The Sun endlessly reveals Joseph’s commitment to the clear-eyed self-reflection that’s guided the band since their earliest days.    In bringing the album to life, Joseph worked with acclaimed producers like Tucker Martine (My Morning Jacket, First Aid Kit, Laura Veirs), Christian “Leggy” Langdon (Meg Myers, Amos Lee, BANKS), Jessica Dobson (Deep Sea Diver), and Joey Burns (Calexico), alongside songwriting collaborators including Tayla Parx and Wynne Bennett, known for their work with artists such as Janelle Monae, Twin Shadow, Haim, Khalid, Normani and Ariana Grande.     With the band taking a decidedly more hands-on role in the production process, The Sun continually achieves the exquisite feat of spinning incredibly complex concepts into sing-along-ready pop songs, providing a captivating backdrop for Joseph’s fearlessly personal storytelling.   “As Closners and as women—or maybe even just as humans—it can be very hard to tell someone that something isn’t working for you,” says Allison. “But this album was a unique experience, because we learned to step up and stand our ground and speak our truth when we needed to.” With the release of The Sun, Joseph hope that listeners might undergo a similar transformation in their sense of strength and self-assurance. “I want people to feel empowered,” says Meegan. ”I want them to recognize the power with themselves, and to know that they’re good—that they’re more than they think they are.”
