JOYWAVE RETURN WITH NEW SINGLE “IT’S A TRIP!”
SOPHOMORE ALBUM CONTENT TO BE RELEASED ON 7/28
Rochester alternative band Joywave announce their sophomore studio album titled Content, release their first single βItβs A Trip!β todayΒ Β The quintet will head out on tour with Young The Giant and Cold War Kids at the start of August.
Content, which has a playful double meaning, is produced by Joywaveβs Daniel Armbruster & Sean Donnelly and mixed by Rich Costey and will be released on Hollywood Records/Cultco Music on 7.28 (pre-order HERE).
Always pushing the creative envelope, Joywave released a mixtape 77777 (2011), their critically-acclaimed EP Koda Vista (2012), a second mixtape 88888 (2013), the How DoΒ You Feel? EP (2014), a full-length debut album titled How Do You Feel Now? (2015) and in 2016 an entire album featuring alternative versions of their song βDestructionβ called SWISH, a take on Kanyeβs short-lived album title and more precisely the band titled it SWISH in response to the similarity between their 2015 tour art & βDestructionβ ad campaign & The Life Of Pablo album art. They collaborated with Big Data on βDangerousβ which hit #1 at alternative radio, while βSomebody Newβ, βDestructionβ and the track βTonguesβ (feat KOPPS) off their album How Do You Feel Now? topped the top of US alternative radio as well.
