Joyce Manor

"on Cody, Joyce Manor make the leap, and they do it without compromising the things that made them special in the first place" - Stereogum album of the week!
Pitchfork album announcement!
Acclaimed Californian band Joyce Manor have shared a new video for their song “Fake I.D.” at The Fader. The video was directed by Christopher Good and it features the band performing like you’ve never seen them before. The band’s anticipated album Cody arrives in stores this October 7th, care of Epitaph. It is the follow-up to the band’s 2014’s critically-lauded record Never Hungover Again.
While the band’s Epitaph debut Never Hungover Again was recorded in a mere ten days, Cody is the result of two months in the studio with renowned producer Rob Schnapf, credited on classics by Elliot Smith, Guided By Voices, Saves The Day and Rancid among others. The result is a record that dares to be humble, intimate and unapologetically human. Cody is the album where the band moves past simple pop and punk. It’s a moment for clarity and creative renewal. Without losing any of the emotional power fans love, the band is defiantly looking towards the future.
Cody finds vocalist/guitarist Barry Johnson, guitarist Chase Knobbe, drummer Jeff Enzor, and bassist Matt Ebert crafting more inventive arrangements while taking greater emotional risks in their songwriting. In comparing Cody to Joyce Manor’s previous work, Johnson notes that the album is “way more tender. A lot more love songs. Softer, sweeter—even sonically.” The result is a record both powerful and intensely vulnerable, full of loud sing-along songs for quiet people.
Joyce Manor will embark on a headlining tour this fall with The Hotelier and Crying as support.
RIYL: The Hotelier, Front Bottoms, Pity Sex, The World is a Beautiful Place & I am No Longer Afraid to Die, Into It. Over It.
