True Shoegazer: No Joy – “Califone”
No Joy

I LOVE THIS. No Joy is one of the greatest shoegazer bands out, that wall of noise lead by its two female band members Jasamine White-Gluz and Laura Lloyd and their long headbanging blonde locks. For many years, White-Gluz actually performed with her back to the crowd, kind of like an early Jim Morrison. Coming out into the spotlight with more assurance, No Joy has adopted a stronger persona, and the album shows that. Recorded in White-Gluz’ Little Italy apartment, the sound is at once more secure yet still intimate. Best bet: See them live. (Ya gotta come to Pittsburgh). I recommend them. I haven’t stopped listening to them.
