NO JOY – “CALIFONE”
Grey Market
No Joy announces the CreepΒ EP, which will be released on Feb. 24 on the brand new label collective Grey Market, Here is the Β first single & video for “Califone” It was produced by Jorge Elbrecht, who also appears on the EP as a guest musician. Check out Feb. & March tour dates below, including a stop at SXSW.
For most listeners, No Joy are a standout from the shoegaze revival, that wall of noise lead by its two female band members Jasamine White-Gluz and Laura Lloyd and their long headbanging blonde locks. In a 2011 Blackbook piece on the bandβs detached yet visceral live show, the writer coyly commented βthey are playing with their backs to the audienceβ¦shy girls.β
For years, principal songwriter and lead vocalist Jasamine White-Gluz was that shy girl. It translated onto their albums (her voice was never too high in the mixes, constantly obscured by layers of guitar) as well as their live shows (instead of standing center stage in the shows, she opted to stay hidden in the corner of the stage). With the latest effort CreepΒ EP, White-Gluz is starting to shed those insecurities and bring a revived spirit to who we know as No Joy.
