The Joy Formidable

If you’re going to claim “Other/Other/Other” as your musical genre on MySpace, you better have a whole lot of “Other” to back yourself up. Fortunately, I’m finding that London’s The Joy Formidable have just that. Their stymie catch lies in their strong, varied music over consistent front vocals approach, which is tough, as this tends to drown out other favoring artists. I hate to end this with a formulaic remark about how The Joy Formidable is a really infectious band with a perfect and eclectic sensibility, but sometimes the truth is best stated plainly.
