New Single from Joyeria
I keep waiting for folks in the States to really catch on to Joyeria, as the project continues to impress with each new sprinkle of pop that comes our way. You’ll hear tons of similarities in the voice, from David Berman to Tim Darcy to Nick Cave…and that’s where you fall in love. That voice feels primal, like it’s escaping out of necessity, unable to be contained, and in such, you can feel the emotion, freshly smashing into you as it makes its way through the speakers. Musically, it’s the bits in the negative space that make me marvel, wondering how much I’ve missed, as the stark nature of the vocals forces you to focus on darkened space we often overlook…and here it’s filled with muted guitar lines and fuzzed out horn work. This song is part of a special cassette planned for a forthcoming art show…so be on the lookout for a couple of other tracks to pop up.
We had a rough start last week, with a wee bit of server issues…plus getting back into work after some time off. But, we came back to a bunch of sweet tunes from some ATH favorites…new videos from Blues Lawyer and En Attendant Ana, not to mention one that tied up the excellent LP from Doom Flower. I was blown away by another fresh track from Joyeria, and RayRay did a little write up on our friends in Why Bonnie. I was really in love with that Grey Factor tune we ran at the end of the week, but it hasn’t made it onto streaming platforms, so check that out before digging into new EPs from Dippers and Peel Dream Magazine.
