No Joy

2013
Mexican Summer

Around thirty-five minutes long, 2013’s Wait To Pleasure concentrated powering through a series of confident as hell shoegaze/noise songs; with producer Jorge Elbrecht credited by No Joy for further building out their sound, the result was a commanding blast, as could be heard in how the vocals swoop and rise over the intensifying roar of the opening “E.” Singles “Hare Tarot Noise” and “Lunar Phobia” allowed for a just calmer enough edge for a way in for new listeners, while the shimmering noise of “Slug Night” and rampage of “Lizard Kids” are only two of the further highlights.
