Montreal’s No Joy are in winter hibernation but will emerge from their slumber in the spring for a couple shows. One of those is in NYC: April 30 at Saint Vitus with San Francisco’s Creepers. Tickets for the Vitus show will go on sale Thursday (2/4) at noon.

The other No Joy show will be in Toronto on May 5 as part of Canadian Music Week, details TBA. To celebrate these new shows, No Joy shared a “slow-cooked, deeply screwed” version of “Corpo Dæmon” (from last year’s More Faithful) and you can stream that below.

Creepers, you may remember, features Shiv Mehra and Daniel Tracy of Deafheaven and their sound falls more into the traditional shoegaze realm. (Think Swervedriver or noisier Ride.) They released an EP in 2013 and dropped their debut album, Lush, in 2014. You can stream Lush below. The Vitus show — a great double bill — is their only East Coast date announced at the moment, but they’re promising more. Stay tuned.
