little joy

Little Joy recently released their newest work. A self titled album that provides what many sun-loving people will need during the coming months. Little Joy is the project that was created through a Lisbon encounter of the Strokes’ drummer Fabrizio Moretti and Rodrigo Amarante de Castro Neves of Los Hermanos. They decided to create a project that was independent of both of their previous work, and in turn developed one of the more unique albums I’ve heard this year. The sound is interesting because it combines elements of Los Angeles’s beaches, and thrusts in Rio de Janeiro’s tropicalia. I find the combo to be very summer ready, and it should provide some escapism from the dreary winter months that are currently setting in. Here is the first single from the disc, and the accompanying video, and a recent studio session performance of “Unattainable” for your enjoyment…
