11	After releasing his debut EP ''blisters'', Josiah began to work on his debut album enlisting noted producers such as Clams Casino and Music/{{Adele}} collaborator Paul Epworth alongside experimental producers such as mmph and Katie Gately to assist in the album's production and to further refine his own sound.

13	Inspired by a breakup and experimentation with his own vocal capabilities, ''soil'' is an art pop record taking as much influence from Afro-American church music as it does thudding and ghostly experimental electronica. It gained many accolades from outlets such as ''The Guardian'' and ''The New York Times'' upon release.
