This record could be called "Arena Rock Lullabies for grown ups." I know how crazy it sounds. But it fits. The Joy Formidable have artfully woven a symphonic patchwork made up of delicate and dreamy moments joined with screaming guitars and cacophonous percussion.
Take one listen and be enchanted. For one week, we are happy to host an exclusive sneak preview of Adam Green and Binki Shapiro's debut full-length, the record that The Current's Music Director, David Safar says is the first great album of 2013.
To honor Black History Month, The Current is celebrating by spotlighting African-American musical icons from throughout history and across genres. Help us pick who to feature!
