Since their 2019 cassette release and their beloved 7" split with SKITKLASS, LA's ARTIFICIAL JOY have long been on Japan's radar. And now, we are pleased to announce, ARTIFICIAL JOY has released their 1st album!
They're here! Make way for ARTIFICIAL JOY!
It's gonna feel like the gates to a long-locked room are getting busted open when they start their set. I don't know, but I think it means we're free to be ourselves now.
Do you find yourself questioning your daily life, like you don't belong, like you're held back by something you can't shake off? Are you kind of a killjoy? Are you addicted to social media's cycle of bullshit negativity? Are you reading this like, no, what the fuck. Whatever it is, whoever you are, you need ARTIFICIAL JOY.
Listen, dance, drown in ARTIFICIAL JOY. Let their music sink in and talk about that other shit later. The guitars are commanding and solid, like they're leading a squadron of troops. The bass and drums rush in and heat up the instrumentals. And at the very top, these fearless, rabid vocals full of all sorts of expressions, blaze like a banner for the songs. An explanation wouldn't do them justice, they're just wow. Wow. Michiaki (The Last Survivors)
