Review:
“Be it in the strange and eerie vocal layering, backward this-and-that, various whispers, shakers, and so on that finish “Become” or the catchy midtempo swing of its title-track, rehctaW draws together elements from the past of Josiah and other Bethancourt-inclusive or -led outfits — and that’s not to minimize the contributions of Lockton, Shardlow, or even Dickinson or Sol, but Josiah begins and ends at the say-so of its founding principal — and in so doing moves the band forward from where they were even a year ago. And they were plenty weird a year ago too, but the message being sent to the listener on rehctaW is that they’ll continue to push creatively in this state. “
