Album Review: More Faithful by No Joy

Excellent, Based on 1 Critic

Exclaim - 80
Based on rating 8/10

While No Joy spend much of More Faithful incorporating different genres into their sonic repertoire, the new idea they spend the most time with involves vocals. Singer/guitarist Jasamine White-Gluz wilfully obfuscated lyrics on the Montreal band's 2010 full-length debut and again on sophomore effort Wait to Pleasure — even going so far as to withhold them from bandmates — and conformed to orthodox shoegaze protocol by burying vocals deep enough in tempestuous sound swirls that they just worked like additional dynamic instrumentation. But More Faithful is more of an open book, and that new approach to vocals is instrumental in transforming No Joy's music.
