Joy is a band that doesn't always try to fill every corner of their raw, low-fi sound with noise. This Boston trio would reather let their songs breathe.
They sent me their latest album Devil's Blues which is (as the name suggests) filled with gentle, rambling, backwoodsy blues folk-rock that just floats along in the afternoon breeze. A foundation of gently strummed acoustic guitar underlays a vast array of instrumentation and hauntingly understated vocals. It is simple music that is utterly complicated abut sounds effortlessly crafted. Highly recommended for fans of Iron & Wince, Sun Kill Moon, and Magnolia Electric Co.
Devil's Blues is out now on Shrimper Records.
