Joy Buzzer - Pleased To Meet You - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Southern California psychedelic savages Joy have signed to Tee Pee! The sound of Joy has been described as 'a spaced-out sonic groove-ride' and 'outer reach freak out,' but that hyperbole alone doesn't do justice to the group's measured mode of attack. Joy puts a premium on establishing both structure and dynamics, it's kaleidoscopic flurry and full-throttle riffage is anchored by both subtle detail and surprising textural depth. Prepare to fall UNDER THE SPELL OF JOY! Features special appearances by guest musicians Nik Turner (Hawkwind) and Parker Griggs (Radio Moscow)! Album Tracks 1. Unter the Spell 2. Miles Away 3. Confusion 4. Evil 5. One More Time 6. Driving Me Insane 7. Death Hymn Blues 8. Back to the Sun

Steeped in folk-rock tradition and powered by the intuitive creative connection between Matt Quinn (vocals, guitar) and Sam Cooper (guitar), the songs on Mt. Joy's eponymous debut depict the former wrestling with his own conscience, where the mundane and the fantastic collide as he processes tragedy, society, and love. Opener InchI'm Your WreckInch describes Inchmonsters in (the) closet, using up the wi-fiInch as it cycles from it's desperate, spiraling verses to it's swinging, stubbornly optimistic coda, while the loping, plaintive chords of InchYounger DaysInch meditate on a frayed psyche and the fear of choosing the wrong path. InchSheep,Inch with it's collapsing, hoarse-voiced cry of Inchfreedom was paid in blood,Inch is a post-Trump salvo on the responsibilities of the fortunate to overcome political and social despondency. InchAstrovanInch is a warm, yearning bit of road-trip philosophy that posits the existence of a Deadhead Jesus cruising the dusty highways of the countryside. And on InchSilver Lining,Inch perhaps the album's brightest moment, Quinn surveys the damage of hard drugs and the vicious cycle of addiction, as the song's melancholic sentiment kicks into it's fervid, defiant chorus, all shout-along vocals and trilling guitars. Album Tracks 1. I'm Your Wreck 2. Dirty Love 3. Silver Lining 4. Bigfoot 5. Sheep 6. Julia 7. MT. Joy 8. Astrovan 9. Cardinal 10. Jenny Jenkins 11. Sado 12. St. George 13. Younger Days

Contains nine new Joy compositions and a searing cover of ZZ Top's 1971 song 'Certified Blues.' The sound of Joy has been described as 'a spaced-out sonic groove-ride' and 'outer reach freak out,' but that hyperbole alone doesn't do justice to the group's measured mode of attack.
