Fresh Finds: Class Of 2025 – Aussie Acts To Add To Your Playlist

Single Focus: Josh Cashman

Single title? Wishful Imagery

What's the song about? Feeling moments of want and wishfully gazing at somebody who by nature and pride, I should not be.

How long did it take to write/record? It came quickly melodically and lyrically, but I struggled to find an all 'round vibe of soundscape to fit the track. Day one in the studio, that vibe came to us naturally. 

Is this track from a forthcoming release/existing release? Yes. My upcoming EP. I recently spent time in the studio with Jan Skubiszewski (John Butler Trio, The Cat Empire, Illy) and it's sounding great and set for release later this year.

What was inspiring you during the song's writing and recording? I hit a dry patch in music I wanted to listen to, so prior to writing and being in the studio I was able to focus solely on my own creations. 

We'll like this song if we like... The Rubens, Matt Corby, Boo Seeka.

Do you play it differently live? I like to keep things similar, but I also love to add subtleties of weird and spacey sounds to add soul to the live vibe of the song. 

When and where is your launch/next gig? 20 Oct, Grace Darling; 28 Oct, Brighton Up Bar. I'm also touring with Tash Sultana in October.
