The Joy Formidable – A Balloon Called Moaning
The Joy Formidable is a couple that operates out of their bedroom. Some make porn there, others like Ritzy Bryan (vocals, guitar) and Rhydian Dafydd (bass) resort to making music. Don’t expect any intimate singer/songwriter type songs about daisies though. Opener “The Greatest Light Is The Greatest Shade” packs a mean powerpop punch and sounds downright epic with its fuzzed up guitars and electronics.
On the rest of the songs, this duo continues to string punch and melody together in songs that made me think of The Breeders (the vocals) and Garbage (the overall sound) covering shoegazer songs more than once. And even if The Joy Formidable might not be making porn in their bedroom, the hushed vocals make the result sexy nonetheless.
Score: 7 out of 10
