No Joy Details

Montreal female-fronted noise pop group No Joy debuts their full length Ghost Blonde,

dropping December 7th on Mexican Summer. Not content to mine the depleted fields of

shoegaze and twee-indie sounds for inspiration, the group creates a maelstrom of

melody out of both, with a layered, fuzzy approach that incorporates big, clean riffage,

anonymous vocals hiding in the background, and a considerable churn across

memorable four-minute pop songs. There’s a great deal more structure in their work

than is found in many of their contemporaries, and their contemplative song structures

work in favor to this approach.
