专辑介绍

Written and Recorded in Cameron's living room, and Kyle's bedroom between July 2016 and April 2017.

Couch Thoughts is the first full-length release from Hello Joyce.

A jangling, percussive, synth-soaked dream. The tracks within this album loosely flow together with their lyricism, but like usual day-dreamy thoughts one has throughout the day—jump around from one idea to the next. Allow the swirling guitars and twinkling keyboards to take you away for a while, and let your mind slip beneath the cushions.

Hello Joyce is a band from Florida that presents itself as a landmark of " dad rockers in the making ". So we would expect a little old music made of long solos, a little grandiloquence and melodies, but it is not so. Hello Joyce , in reality, has nothing of dad rock, the group is rather in a jazz jizz - or rather, a jizz folk - which makes us stay on our couch - the name of the album says so. His slogan, " Let your mind slip beneath the cushions " (literally, let your mind slip under the cushions) makes sense especially in an LP that oscillates between dream pop, jangle pop and elevator music.

" Couch Thoughts ", the first track, immediately recalls the old sounds of Mac DeMarco - surely this is the guitar. The titles of this album have been recorded in the singer's chamber, which is clearly evident as the melodies are apathetic. " Breathe " is closer to the breeze pop of Real Estate. The bass line does the job very well and the song is perfectly sequenced.

" I'm Your Hound ", the third title, is even more haunting than the others. Hello Joyce takes us to the confines of room pop while " Where She Goes " plays the Ducktails card. Listen to Kyle D. Muti is a relaxing exercise. Writing this article on a Monday morning is not the easiest thing. There is a slight tendency for somnambulism that this LP only reinforces. " Ceiling " comes close to the A side. The concept album Hello Joyce is very well done, the titles are linked with grace and we say that the group can not deliver a title below a floor level yet very above. It's once again the bass line that challenges us.

" [Intermission] " is an excellent thing. Interludes are generally not very effective but it has the advantage of guiding us in an instrumental country that smells like faded flowers. And " Hanging Heavy " re-engages the napping machine.

" Getting Fatter " is the logical consequence of all this agony. Hello Joyce uses these minutes to show us that he can write songs other than on poetic themes. " Midnight Snack " reintroduces airs more dream pop to the Real Estate, which, in my opinion, is less successful in the group as we are used to this kind of creations. See " Strange Year " and its spectral side. The title is more captivating than the previous one.

When contacted about this article, Hello Joyce confided to me to be " a psych rock / jangle pop band based in Florida, we've been great friends for years and we just love to get some dope sounds into people's ears ". Here is his formula, have a good time with friends, do not worry too much for our ears and write the apology of the sofa. Between bedroom, jangle pop, jizz jazz and breeze pop, Hello Joyce navigates with a hand of master in the world of indolent formations. Alex Calder can look forward to new journeymen. This album succeeds all the goals he had set himself to achieve. Hello Joyce is currently working on a new EP. So let's hold our breath in the middle of this sea air.
