Ghost Blonde [LP]
Splitting time between Montreal and Los Angeles, female-fronted noise pop group No Joy released their debut album, <i>Ghost Blonde</i>. We could say a lot of things about the record: that it fully delivers on the promise of their Mexican Summer 7", that it builds upon the revitalization of shoegaze pop in recent times with a melodic fervor and angst that many of their contemporaries fail to capitalize on, that their records look and sound gorgeous, that there are moments on <i>Ghost Blonde</i> that match the challenges laid down by My Bloody Valentine and Lush years ago.
