“What makes this band really special is the bold sincerity of front-woman Josie Ghost’s song-craft and her projection of an audacious optimism that would melt the heart of the most cynical grandpa. If you haven’t already heard them, check them out.” (Flex magazine)
"Sitting harmoniously between the euphoria of Florence and the Machine and the new wave romance of Blondie." (Paperbox promotions)
“This band has admirable songcraft … Bursting with boho idiosynchrasies and fronted by a keyboard straddling neo-diva.” (24/7 Magazine)
"Their music remains entirely and uniquely their own. It's by turns dark, atmospheric and gothic, and yet also curiously euphoric at times. Josie's vocals shift from breathy and delicately yearning, to soaring, to direct and incisive (she occasionally reminds us of Siouxsie Sioux). Combined with her angular piano playing, they give songs like Spider a warped nursery rhyme feel. There's definitely a touch of the macabre to their tunes.” (London Metro, Ones to Watch)
“Making your mark on the music scene is a tough call for any new artist, but the unique and beguiling package offered by bohemian trio Josie and the Lovecats is swiftly charming everyone who encounters them." (Jackie Butler, Western Morning News)
“The title track of their new EP is where Peek-A-Boo-era Siouxsie meets the sinister nursery rhyme Weimar period. If Kurt Weil was writing for a 21st century pop outfit, then Josie could be his Lotte Lenya.” (Lee Trewhela, West Briton/Cornish Guardian).

Josie and the Lovecats are on the prowl. Fronted by Josie Ghost, a spirited slip of a girl, this left-field Cornish trio have dug their claws into the SW music scene and are spreading their whiskers out across the UK. Their music’s a consistently quirky delight – skipping playfully between lush creamy dreamscapes and sleek stomping showdowns.
Josie’s at times sweet, at times ferocious vocals are taken to another level with the use of a vocal harmoniser. Hooking up to her keyboard this distinctive gadgetry allows her to achieve massive layered vocals live. With her angular piano, George’s virtuosic breaks on the kit and Josie Boucharde’s (yes, another Josie!) melodic driving bass lines, these cats trash it up and spit it out, in uber-feisty cabaret style.
Josie and the Lovecats are:
Josie Dobson: keys, vocals
Helen Nash: cello
George Horsey: drums
