Welsh gnarly art-pop trio >The Joy Formidable have carved their own nice since 2007. Their latest album is called AAARTH, a pun on the Welsh word for bear. It's an apt title for a bunch of songs that are both cuddly and unpredictable. The band likes to build towering tunes, only to soften them a bit with dabs of vocals and chopped riffs.
When they lean towards a bit of mainstream pop, they tend to turn things upside down to ensure that things don't get to comfortable. if they were a couch, the springs would be showing through upholstery.
The Joy Formidable:
Rhiannon "Ritzy" Bryan: guitar, vocals
Rhydian Dafydd Davies: bass
Matthew James Thomas: drums
AAARTH is released thru Seradom Records.
