Acoustic guitars, pedal steels, stripped back percussion, piano and air tight harmonies, Joseph and I'm Alone, No You're Not take Americana and vintage instrumentation, and add a studio polish for a haunting beauty and grandeur that's never overwhelming or laid on too thick.
There's also a soaring, inspirational pop feel at times that defies that description by always sounding organic, never calculating. Joseph is the kind of band that, even at their most quiet, have a real power, while the loudest, most bombastic moments still leave plenty of vulnerability. I'm Alone, No You're Not has a calm confidence about it that means you're always in safe hands.
