"oh I wish I could hold this moment for the rest of my life..."
The jangle pop-esque, indie rock lovely 'If There's a Heaven' by Josie Lockhart, the solo project of Austin based Aaron Miller (who you might recognize from the synth pop Sphynx), goes down easy. The soaring guitar lines, the running synth melodies feel like Americana folkish indie rock blended with 90's post punk / goth pop. Like an amalgam of artists like The Waterboys, Kurt Vile, The Cure, the track feels nostalgic, feels like those lost days that fill your head when times are hard.
'If There’s A Heaven' is the third single from Lockhart’s upcoming album, 'Santa Rosa'. Check out the equally nostalgic Official Video.

Josie Lockhart is the new solo endeavour from the artist most easily recognized as one of three “frontmen” in the synth-pop trio Sphynx, who in the last few years played shows with Walk The Moon, Imagine Dragons, Jungle and Questlove. The first single “Like Lightning” was mixed by Chris Coady (Beach House, Grizzly Bear, Future Islands, Yeah Yeah Yeahs) and exclusively premiered as the KUTX 98.9 Song of the Day in the Summer of 2020. The single went on to be featured on BBC, NPR, and American Songwriter Magazine.
The first single “Like Lightning” was released in Sept 2020 and exclusively premiered as the KUTX 98.9 Song of the Day. Josie has released five singles to date that perfectly showcase both his songwriting and artistry, combining his signature mix of indie rock, psychedelia, and Americana. "If There's A Heaven" was selected by radio station Lightning 100 as their Hitmaker Track of the Week and on the week of the album release KUTX 98.9 featured “Dirty Money” as their Song of the Day. The singles have also been featured on BBC (UK), NPR, American Songwriter, Obscure Sound and Fresh On The Net, as well as picking up indie international radio-play in the US, UK, Australia, Spain, and Brazil.
“Santa Rosa” is title track from the new album. Santa Rosa was mixed by Chris Coady in LA and brought back to Austin to be mastered by Jerry Tubb (Willie Nelson, Gary Clark Jr., Explosions In The Sky, David Byrne). The album was performed and recorded by Miller at his home studio in South Austin and explores themes of grief, isolation, and love, set against a backdrop of a super-natural reimagining of the American West that Miller has spent years traversing in a tour van. Miller ruminates on the afterlife and human existence while recounting tales of adventures both true and imagined. These sonic and lyrical elements combine to create a dynamic and textured world.
