A Balloon Called Moaning

VINYL FORMAT. Wales trio The Joy Formidable is the first band signed to Black Bell Records, the label founded by Passion Pit's Ayad Al Adhamy. After selling out four singles over the last year and a half in the United Kingdom, The Joy Formidable - comprised of Ritzy Bryan (vocals/guitar), Rhydian Dafydd (bass) and Matthew Thomas (drums) - is ready to hit the ground running in the US with the release of its eight track EP A Balloon Called Moaning. Described by some as a "dreamy indie pop" group, TJF has been exposed to the New York City music scene supporting standout bands Passion Pit, Editors and The Temper Trap.
