Indie-rock trio Joywave have announced their 2024 UK/EU tour including a date at Manchester’s Yes, Pink Room on Sat 02 November. Tickets will be available from May 17th.
The tour news comes ahead of their fifth studio album Permanent Pleasure which will be dropped Fri 17th May.
On Permanent Pleasure, Joywave (vocalist/multi-instrumentalist Daniel Armbruster, guitarist Joseph Morinelli and drummer Paul Brenner) lean into guitar and string sections without sacrificing the signature sound that’s endeared the band to countless fans.
The trio’s hometown Rochester, New York is rich in culture and creativity. It’s integral not only to the theme of Permanent Pleasure but also to Joywave’s overall identity.
The band maintain a DIY work ethic that keeps them grounded in the present moment while always reaching toward the future.
Permanent Pleasure is an unfiltered vision of the band’s creativity that sees them stepping outside of their sonic comfort zone.
Armbruster explains, “I think this is probably our least keyboard [heavy] record. On Permanent Pleasure we blew everything apart again: We’re switching out drum components and everything we can between songs and freeing ourselves again from the box of ‘it has to be super cohesive’ because I always want to rage against what we did last time. But five records in, we’re a lot better at writing and recording, so it’s bringing back a little bit of the all-over vibe of the first record, but on the other side of the experience. We’ve gone through a wormhole.”
“I think the job of an artist is to explore any side of being a person and self-awareness is a huge part of being a person,” Armbruster describes the album. “I think artists who ignore humor aren’t being true to themselves and it’s a huge part of who we are despite having thoughts on the record that are on the darker side of things. I feel like you have to wink a little bit to make it okay. You have to make a joke about the asteroid as the asteroid is about to hit.”
