Joshua Burnside is an experimental folk songwriter, singer and producer. He takes influence from alternative electronica trad, and Irish folk, chopping and blending them with a mixture of found sounds, world music and unorthodox production methods. Across the new album, Burnside meditates on grief, love, and the stubborn persistence of hope. On “With You,” he confronts the unbearable surreality of standing at a friend’s grave, while “Good Times” disguises its despair beneath the brightness of its melody, a sardonic ode to the highs and lows of self-destruction. The title track, “It’s Not Going to Be Okay,” turns anger and confusion into catharsis, personifying the darkness of the world with typical biting clarity.
“It’s a grief record,” he admits, “but also a love record for Dean, for my family, for being alive at all.
