The holiday sounds of Josh Rouse

"If you want something for your big holiday party that will be familiar to all your guests, The Holiday Sounds of Josh Rouse is not at all what you're looking for. But if you want to hear a gifted singer and songwriter deliver a set of thoroughly pleasing songs that feel as comfortable as your favorite sweater, this is just the thing to play as you enjoy a roaring fire and the glow of the Christmas tree ... . (The CD version of The Holiday Sounds of Josh Rouse also includes a bonus disc where Rouse puts his spin on three holiday classics you certainly know by heart as well as demo versions of three tracks from the album.)".

"The real skill in putting together these compilations is to pull together the familiar with the not-so-familiar and the not-at-all-familiar (to most people) into a cohesive blend that sounds great as an album in its own right. Musik Music Musique 2.0 achieves this with room to spare and is an absolute treasure trove for synth pop fans".

"With this, his twelfth full-length album, Josh Rouse has produced a record worthy of his sublime back catalogue. If it sounds this good in October, just imagine how magical it might be come December".
