Influences:
"Preston... back where music all began for him." ~ Bangor Daily News (.pdf)
"Preston placed himself in the arc of usually British guitar troubadours that has people like Ralph McTell and Roy Harper on the folky end, Richard Thompson on the rockier one, and John Martyn, Nick Drake, and Preston himself somewhere in the middle." ~ Vintage Guitar Magazine (Oct 08)
"Exit Sounds is a quiet and moody affair... led by his strummed and finger-picked
acoustic guitar and it all supports Preston¹s slightly gruff tenor." ~ AllMusic.com
"His lyrics and compositions come across as mature, espousing truths hard-learned from experience." ~ Southeast Performer
"Preston is a master of cinematic lyrics as he paints vivid pictures by way of plaintive lyrics and buoyant melodies delivered with understated fervor." ~ Minor7th.com
"Preston has a sharper sensibility than the typical singer-songwriter.." ~ Blogcritics
"Preston draws from a singer-songwriter tradition as simple, sturdy and solemn as a 100-year-old tree." ~ MassLive.com
"
Exit Sounds is an extremely impressive album from a solo artist who deserves to be well known." ~ CosmosGaming
"Mr. Preston's songs sound like an odd cross between a more accessible Sufjan Stevens and a soft folkie version of Bob Pollard (Guided By Voices)." ~ LMNOP.com
"Nashvillian, Josh Preston is a dude that if given the opportunity could win over a lot of hearts...." ~ Captainsdead.com
"Built upon a solemn vocal tone and an intricate arrangement of sound, Josh Preston’s third full-length recording
Exit Sounds is a breathy whisper of turmoil along a wasted waterfront of the heart. " ~ Metro Spirit (Augusta, GA)
"The throaty, heart-wrenching hooks on Josh Preston’s
Exit Sounds are as plentiful and long as…well, as his beard." ~ The Deli Magazine (Nashville)
"Much of
Exit Sounds deals with the darker side of love, whether being caught in love's web, as described in "Addict," or just quiet bemusement with relationships, as with "Thousand Years." ~ The Trades
"Josh Preston schrijft poëtische liedjes die hij ingetogen zingt, met fijnzinnige arrangementen." (Translation: "Josh Preston writes poetic songs he sings subdued, with sophisticated arrangements.") ~ Moors Magazine - The Netherlands
"His music hits very close to home and is rich with personal experiences." ~ Rock-Is-Life.com
" 3 out of 5 Stars" ~ In Tune (The Daily News, McKeesport, PA)
