Josh Pyke is a musical tailor. Using melody and narrative as his threads, he seamlessly stitches together diverse elements of life to form the fabric of songs that are timeless, full of emotion and emphatically honest.
On his debut album 'Memories & Dust', the Sydney songsmith has realised the potential promised on his ARIA Award nominated EP 'Feeding The Wolves', and woven together a host of beautifully crafted songs into one, magical whole.
With production credits shared between the much-lauded Wayne Connolly (You Am I, The Vines, Youth Group) and Josh himself, the album was mixed in part by Connolly in Sydney and in part by Michael Brauer (The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Coldplay, My Morning Jacket) in New York.
The pattern for Josh to release 'Memories & Dust' worldwide was laid out when Ivy League Records inked a deal with Island/Universal (UK) in mid-2006 via the label's managing director Dan Keeling, who made his mark signing global superstars Coldplay. No mean feat, but not so hard to understand given Josh's ability to write songs with such strong melodies that they manage to sew themselves under your skin and remain there.

About this track...
'Sew My Name' particularly reflects the overall theme of the record lyrically. Says Josh, "Sewing and threads and stitching are recurring themes through the album, trying to describe the process of patching together disparate parts of your life and keeping them all part of the same fabric."
