* PREORDER * SPREAD JOY - III LP

* PREORDER * expected to arrive Mon 14th Sept

Highly recommended.

"Are your shoelaces tied? Have you stretched? Good. Spread Joy’s new record will have you up and moving before your brain can even comprehend what the body is doing – f*ck you, Renè Descartes! As always, the band’s rhythmic hivemind is more locked-in than your local synchronized swim team.

The good news is that III isn’t a pure adrenaline rush. You see the band in lineage to the kinds of post-punks who never let being smart as hell keep them from having a good time. The B-52s and Talking Heads and Suburban Lawns of the world knew that any highbrow lyricism would wash down better with hefty doses of killer melodies and Spread Joy bears this lineage well.

As always, it’s a full-bodymind workout with Spread Joy: don’t say you weren’t warned." - Annie Howard
