"Outstanding" - Folk Radio.
"This album surprises, challenges, and rewards ... Labels don't help with Burnell's music: just listen." - EDS.

“Joshua Burnell is fast becoming one of the rising young voices on the British folk scene.” – Morning Star.
Joshua Burnell’s music takes you to places others simply don’t reach.
Recent winner of the Rising Star accolade in the 2020 Folking Awards,
Burnell is an extraordinary talent, seemingly with his own musical time machine – able to teleport listeners back into a rich, retro past or into a bold, other-wordly future.
A highly original songwriter and multi-instrumentalist (from his trademark Hammond organ to acoustic guitar, accordion, mellotron, synths and a Steinway grand) the York-based performer is adept at conjuring up vast, layered theatrical soundscapes and moodscapes as well as simpler, starker, equally captivating arrangements.
Flowers Where The Horses Sleep sees him returning to original songwriting. Recorded and mixed just before the world went into Covid-19 lockdown, the 10-track album has a pertinent theme. Says Josh: “The songs were all inspired by people, past and present and explore humankind’s remarkable ability to find beauty, even in the hardest of times.”.
An album chock full of style, poetic lyrics and impressive musicianship it marks Burnell out as an artist with a true difference. Whatever box you might try to put him into you can be sure he’ll be thinking outside it!
