Joss Worthington is an artist and record producer based in the rolling hills of Ripponden, West Yorkshire. 

Working at his custom built sonic workshop (Distant City Studios), Worthington has engineered and produced records for various artists including ‘Spook The Herd’ by Lanterns On The Lake (Bella Union) which made the 2020 Mercury Prize shortlist.

His roots in record production lie in years of work as a DIY artist writing, recording & releasing records under numerous guises including Postcards From Jeff who’s single ‘Suburban Girl’ featured on the Sony Pictures hit TV series ‘Cobra Kai.’

It’s no surprise that Worthington’s music has found its way to the big screen. His songs are bold and brooding cinematic snapshots as visual for the imagination as they are vibrant for the ears. A soundtrack to a world wrapped in a rich language of isolation, disconnection and delicious melancholia. Where characters walk across windswept moors and beneath epic cloudscapes in search of solace before the coming storm.

Dream-pop meets cinematic indie, folk blends with electronica and alternative pop expectations are subverted by underground ambient soundtracks and a futuristic Americana. And as one genre bleeds into the next a new genre-less music is created bounded not by style or tradition but only by an imaginative vision. 

New single ‘Fireflies’ (the first under his own name) develops these sensibilities further.

Underpinned by a timeless cinematic folk pop soundscape, it is as calm and rich in beauty as it is loneliness. Skilfully put together and masterfully executed,‘Fireflies’ is both heart warming and haunting. Torn between a lost longing for the past and searching for new horizons. It’s dreamily emotive atmosphere picks you up and takes you on a journey to a place that seems strangely familiar yet completely new.
