The Joy Formidable have announced that their new studio album will be released later this year.
The follow-up to 2016’s Hitch is titled Aaarth and will arrive on September 28 via Hassle Records, with the news following the launch of the single Dance Of The Lotus (opens in new tab) last month.
Vocalist and guitarist Ritzy Bryan says: “With life not always being that kind, you can either go down a really dark hole or you can smear yourself with colour and reverie and try to forget.
“That’s what we did with Aaarth – we threw ourselves into this beautiful vivacious collage of experimentation, real meets unreal, and stopped giving a fuck about things that didn’t matter, and started caring more about the things that are worth your time.”
To mark the album announcement, The Joy Formidable have released an audio stream of their brand new track The Wrong Side which can be listened to below.
The Welsh trio will play a handful of UK dates in August, including an appearance at the Reading and Leeds festivals, and will then head to North America for a run of shows with Foo Fighters.
