No Joy released 'Wait to Pleasure' and new video; win copy of new LP and tickets to their Glasslands show

by Bill Pearis

No Joy

No Joy‘s new album, Wait to Pleasure, came out last week via Mexican Summer. Produced by Violens’ Jorge Elbrecht, the album goes beyond the group’s pummeling shoegaze start, showing off previously unheard textures, melody and beauty. They can still attain tinitus-level volume, but they’ve got other cards too. You can stream it via Spotify, and check out their new video for the LP’s almost Cocteau Twins-y “Hare Tarot Lies” below.

As mentioned, No Joy’s tour will hit NYC in a couple weeks, playing an early show at Mercury Lounge on May 15 (tickets) and then Glasslands on May 16 with the sonically likeminded Weekend (who were great at Shea Stadium last week) and Grand Resort (who also play with BNLX the next day). You can still get tickets to Glasslands but if you’d like to go for free, we’ve got a pair to give away, along with a copy of No Joy’s album.

Contest details, video, album stream and No Joy’s current tour schedule are below.

======================
