NoiseTrade One-on-One: Interview with Joseph

While on tour in Europe, we were lucky enough to have an international exchange with

Natalie Closner of indie-pop trio Joseph for our newest NoiseTrade One-on-One. We discussed the wonders of a European continental breakfast, the dynamic shift between full-band and acoustic trio performances, and the deeper draw of their “White Flag” anthem.

NoiseTrade: First off, how has your European trek been so far? How are the crowds, the sightseeing, and the food?

Natalie Closner: To be honest, there isn’t much sightseeing on a tour like this. It’s mostly just venues and highways and hotel continental breakfasts. That said, European continental breakfast! Sigh… It’s gorgeous. It puts your average U.S. Holiday Inn to shame. We’re talking huge spreads of charcuterie, pickled vegetables, soft boiled eggs, fried eggs, fresh tomatoes and cucumbers and all manner of cheeses. Spectacular. I do miss pour over coffee though because it’s all about espresso over here. Also, the crowds have been incredibly warm and we’ve had to talk about politics a lot.

NT: Fallon, Conan, Ellen, CBS This Morning… you guys have been popping up all over the place recently. What’s the first thing you say to each other when you get off stage after these exciting TV appearances?

Closner: We smile and high five and hug our team who is there to support us. It’s a pretty existential experience and we learn so much every time. I love realizing that these people with mega celebrity status are truly kind and down to earth.
