2005, Shrimper
Formed by longtime friends Daniel M. and Matt S. as an acoustic duet in 2002, Joy puts a unique spin on pop music. A little folky, a little bluesy, a little country, the band offers subtle compositions that warble beneath idiosyncratic vocals-the cornerstones of a musical relationship that spans two decades. Now a quartet, Joy makes an interesting addition to the Shrimper Records catalog. More conceptual than either previous release, Devil's Blues ushers in a new phase of Joy's musical development. Recorded digitally (for the most part) in the band's basement rehearsal space and at New Alliance East (Boston, MA), Shrimper's proper follow-up to Joy finds the band experimenting with instrumentation and lyrical themes. The result is a more focused, more mature work that honors the band's roots while taking a dramatic step toward its sonic future.
