MUSCLES OF JOY LP LAUNCH
Muscles of Joy are one of Glasgow’s best-kept secrets – a multi-instrumental, largely vocal-led all female ensemble. Evoking the similar liberal femininity found in bands such as The Slits, Lizzy Mercier Descloux, Kleenex/Liliput and The Raincoats, the band’s musical aesthetic is loose, abstract and emotively driven.
Their debut LP is a glorious collection of accidental pop, freak-folk, post-punk and avante garde songs, each with their own magical identity. Released on Dep from Monorail’s label Watts of Goodwill (also home to Gummy Stumps) – this is a very special release, and one we can’t wait for you all to hear.
Support for the show comes from Glasgow-based grunge outfit PALMS and a dj set from Jamie Grier – who produced the Muscles of Joy album.
