(Killbeat Music Press Release) With album cuts “Everything New” and “Moon In My Mouth” already released into the ether, Montreal’s No Joy has now premiered “Hollywood Teeth” courtesy of Billboard Magazine which says the song “pits lovely, understated harmonies against atmospheric, expansive guitars.” The band’s third studio album, More Faithful, is set for release on June 9 via Arts & Crafts.

Having just completed a two week string of European dates, No Joy is kicking off another month long North American tour with a hometown show in Montreal on June 4 before making Canadian stops in Ottawa on June 5, Vancouver on June 11 and a three night stand in Toronto at NXNE on June 18, 19 and 20. All tour dates are listed below.

Throughout the album, singer / guitarist Jasamine White-Gluz, guitarist Laura Lloyd, drummer Garland Hastings, and bassist Michael Farsky push themselves to new peaks of intensity. The album bears the fruit of a band that has refined its work ethic in the gulf of time between recording sessions. The outcome – a juxtaposition of unrest and calm, beauty and chaos, truth and fantasy, in the throes of dimed amps and hair-whipping guitar goddess rock music – is as unwavering as ever.

Where No Joy’s last album, Wait To Pleasure, balanced textural difference with the freewheeling novelty of the studio environment, More Faithful documents a much more rigorous creative process and performance. For the album, No Joy worked with musician and producer Jorge Elbrecht (Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti, Chairlift, Lansing-Dreiden, Violens). Recording was split between tracking at Brooklyn studio Gary’s Electric and an old farmhouse in Costa Rica.

In this rural Costa Rican setting, Elbrecht created a makeshift but nurturing studio environment where he and No Joy did the mixing, overdubs, and cut vocals for twelve hours a day. Repairing themselves to an isolated environment strengthened No Joy’s regimented approach to making a record that satisfied their vision.

There is no question that More Faithful is the most forward, throttling record No Joy has made taking their sound to the wall in a brazen display of beauty-laced power. At times More Faithful is heavier than anything they’ve done yet, while also their fastest, riffs shooting upward in discord and drifting down in angelic harmonies.
