JOSEF SALVAT

plus guest _ MAIN VENUE _ ON SALE FRI 7th NOV, 9AM Debut EP ‘In Your Prime’ out now Open season: “A brooding synth-soul slow-burner.” The Sunday Times Tickets priced at €12 including booking fee go on sale this Friday at 9am from ticketmaster. Last month Josef Salvat posted Shoot & Run, a tantalizing preview of what’s to come from his debut EP, In Your Prime As with the handful of songs previously posted by Josef (Hustler, Every Night, This Life) Shoot & Run received plaudits from tastemakers across the board and now, and following that comes another brand new offering, ‘Open Season’, an expansive, infectious pop tune that oozes soul beneath tingling synth riffs. The complete In Your Prime EP (from which the track is taken) is available on iTunes and also includes Shoot & Run, previous online favorite This Life and a beautiful stripped back version of Rihanna’s Diamonds. Having already garnered praise from the likes of Pitchfork, Fader, Disco Naïveté and radio tastemakers with his initial breakthrough success last year, the Australia born, London based artist continues to impress with his swelling electro-pop sounds. Salvat’s intimate lyricism, distinct turn of phrase and dark melodies have already secured him a Hypemachine #1 with Hustler, over 1.5 million Soundcloud plays and close to one million YouTube views. Now, with the release of his new EP this month and an album set to come early 2015 Josef is quickly emerging as an artist to watch over coming months.
