Dance duo Joy Anonymous have announced their second album ‘Cult Classics’, out November 3rd.
The album takes excursions into disco and funk, whilst keeping fans of their popular pandemic-era experiments happy with continued forays into house. Framed from the perspective of a night out – the heady rush of club euphoria to the come down – ‘Cult Classics’ sees the duo reconcile their love of pop sensibility with invigorating dancefloor fillers.
“‘Cult Classics’ is the soundtrack of Joy Anonymous meetings over the past two years. It began in Imogen Heap’s house in Romford. where we spent two weeks working with various friends and new collaborators to form the skeletons of what was to become the album you hear today. Then we took these sounds on tour and tested them out in meetings around the world, honing and developing the sound on the move. Joy Anonymous is a movement where people feel included and feel safe to share expression and emotion. We have tried to capture that in the sound, process and delivery of this album.”
To coincide with the album announcement Joy have released ‘I Did You Wrong’, a vocal-led track doused in end-of-summer melancholy…
Joy Anonymous will perform in the UK this November supporting The Streets, before heading to Australia and North America for a run of solo shows.
