From the ashes of burnt-to-the-ground anguish spawns the newly found sincerity of Simple Shelter's debut album, A Phoenix From the Ashes. It's a musical pictorial that embarks light, darkness and the unknowing worlds within the mind of Joshua Bradford. With every track on the CD, listeners journey with the artist through avenues of hardships and emotional distress while touching down upon optimistic endings. "Embrace the idea of watching your house burn down along with all of your possessions in a moment of complete loss while turning around and walking into the desert. It's the light that derives from complete loss of which I create this album." Each song on the album embraces a unique musical genre along Joshua's dynamic vocal range and singing diversity. Some tracks are all electronics, while others are only guitar. All songs written and performed by Joshua Bradford plus a few featured artists including Peter DiStefano of Porno for Pyros, Menace, and a handful of others. Includes an interesting cover of Enya's "Orinoco Flow."
