Old Black Magic is one of those shape-shifting kinds of songs. I originally wrote it to be quiet, but it ended up wanting to be played loud. I envisioned it one way but it ended up being something entirely new. I recorded it for my previous record but it didn’t feel like a good fit for the album. In the time between records, however, I’d been playing it solo a lot and the song had stuck with me. I first played it for Jason and Amanda, sitting on their porch last summer. Jason immediately had an idea of where it could go with the 400 Unit. The beat would be in a different place and the volume would be cranked. Old Black Magic didn’t start out to be a rock ’n roll song, but that’s where it got to, all of us sitting around in a circle at RCA, playing a soft song loud. That’s Sadler Vaden playing that monster solo. - Josh

As 2018 comes to a close, I wanted to thank you all for listening and say thank you for a wild year. So many cool things happened to me this year. Our family expanded, the band and I got to headline the Ryman in Nashville (!), And I got to work with some incredible new friends. In short, I got to continue doing what I love with and for people that I care about. Thanks for making that possible. I cannot wait for you guys to hear what we've been working on for 2019. Love, Josh 📸: Sam Kassirer
