Still in his early 20s and based in Leeds, having grown up on the other side of the Pennines, Eaves released his debut As Old As The Grave EP, to much acclaim in November of last year.
Beautifully wistful, emotionally powerful and lyrically astute Eaves’ debut album is tinged with a world-weary wisdom that belies his age. His delicate and haunting songs have an ageless quality which touch on his upbringing, dreams and death, and especially the desire to get from where he was to where he wants to be.
“My songs are very emotional and change dramatically. To perform them, I have to be in the zone. I remember where I was when I wrote them and why I wrote them,” explains Joe. “ I have to perform them in the way they were written; otherwise I’m letting myself and the audience down.”
Having previously toured alongside Nick Mulvey Boy & Bear and Slow Club, and currently on a European run of shows with Philip Selway, Eaves has announced his own headline tour following the release of the album.
