The Joy Formidable include the lyrics to their new single 'Whirring' on the back cover, been a while since i've seen that done but i think i've figured out why, you see The Joy Formidable are welsh yo!!! Good kids the welsh. So this single is sung in welsh and you can barely tell as it's a reet catchy number, sorta breeders inspired american rock stuff with big riffs and epic production. B-side 'Chwyrlio' is also sung in the welsh tongue and this time it's more obvious. Very ambient sounding melodramatic ballad sung with a super strong welsh accent. Sounds amazing yo!TRACKLISTING: A. Whirring B. Chwyrlio
OVERVIEW: Whirring is taken from the 8-track CD A Balloon Called Moaning (PureGroove/TJF08),
The release sees the band celebrating their North Walian roots with a heartrending Welsh version of Whirring, Chwyrlio and a video to the single shot on the peaks of the Clwydian range. It's a video that captures the landscape of their upbringing, a beautifully tiring ascent, an ode to their beginnings. www.youtube.com/thejoyformidable
To support the record, the band will make appearances at Camden Crawl, Stag and Dagger and The Great Escape amongst other festival slots, dates in Europe, swiftly followed by their own headlining dates. Having toured with White Lies to support their debut single Austere (NME single of the week) and Howling Bells to support their second single Cradle (The Times: download of the week), the band advance to a deserved spotlight, leveling as many venues as possible with their colossal live sound... expect something special.
