Joseph Sant releases new single from Before Calamity EP

Happy New Music Friday! Brooklyn musician Joseph Sant has a treat for you today in the form of “Osprey,” the gorgeous and reflective new single from his upcoming EP release, Before Calamity. Speaking of the inspiration behind the song, Sant says, “Like much of my music, this song grapples with questions. I remember growing up learning about astronomers from a few centuries ago. In stories about them, they gaze up at the stars and have that odd feeling of being crushed by the infinite nature of the stars they were studying. They called that feeling the “sublime”. Today, a sublime feeling awaits those who look out on humanity’s horizon and see the many possible cataclysmic futures we might bring on ourselves. It feels like a screwed up modern descendant of those ancient emotions: a glimpse of the infinite potential of what humanity could be, betraying itself. What does it mean when you glimpse that future, then have to look back at your own little sphere of existence, trying to live a good life of love?“
