The Joy Formidable - Into The Blue

The Joy Formidable
Into The Blue
Label: Enci

Sparks fly as champion rampages steeped in vaporwave masonry form alt-rock cauldrons cooking cauterized dream-pop inside the bulletproof, “Blue,” a crispy blitz hammering industrial phantoms into rhythmic submission and inflicting risky wishes with unblinking intimidation. Armor-plated enablers orbiting dangerous liaisons, The Joy Formidable’s sinister syllabus enlists illicit prescriptions beneath hallucinogenic menace, courting distorted sport with courageous rapport and stun-gun force.

Joan As Police Woman, Tony Allen and Dave Okumu - The Solution Is Restless

Joan As Police Woman, Tony Allen and Dave Okumu - The Solution Is Restless

Joan As Police Woman, Tony Allen and Dave Okumu
The Solution Is Restless
Label: PIAS

Slithering rhythmic ghost-deposed gospel, “Restless,” catches double-helix digi-jazz strategies; steamy Bathsheba divas dripping lordly contortions over elegant bendable funk singed in rising pliable piano, synths, guitars and strings stretched over satin-smooth grooves. Sonic conquerors Allen and Okumu lubricate Joan As Police Woman’s placid gravitas with subtle skulking, the trio’s low-flying desires gliding through dreamy ravines, sinful inroads and elastic cascades.

Choosing
Label: Bella Union

Destiny taunts phantom answers dancing in Jamieson’s flaming torch-songs, navigating sad ballads between simple admissions simmering in minimal beginnings and elaborate ladders bridging stirring murmurs emerging from forlorn corners into dogfight flights under open skies. Folk-rock roots weaving indie-twisted pitfalls among singer-songwriter pinnacles, “Choosing,” casts therapeutic prudence and confidential entries into vicarious prayers layered in crossroads atonements and keyhole focus.
