The Return of Tune In Saturdays: Little Joy
For a band including a member of the Strokes, there are only rare moments that would actually make you consider the connection. A mish mash of quiet melodies and utter randomness (in the best of ways), Little Joy's self-titled debut is a trip between folksy reggae and goog 'ol' indie rockin'. Lots of gems in there though. I only wish we'd hear more from the fantastic female vox unfortunately named Binki.
"Little Joy's charmingly lazy songwriting makes no gesture at becoming anything beyond an excellent dinner-party soundtrack. But in these trying times for art and political life, such warm-hearted mood music will at least make your headaches go away."
