“I think of it as being kind of like the space program in 1960s,” said Daniel Armbruster when asked about the level of experimentation involved in creating Joywave’s latest release. “Each mission was about accomplishing a certain goal that ultimately was about putting a person on the moon. ‘Alright, Mercury we’re going to have people circle the Earth. Gemini , we’re going to have crafts docking. Eventually, we’re going to get there.’ That’s kind of the same philosophy I guess we take to our music.” If you were to look at the cover art for Joywave’s [...]
Joywave are a band that have proven themselves to be somewhat of musical chameleons; effortlessly able to shapeshift to anything from electro-pop to indie-rock. It's a trait that has also enabled them the imagination needed to rework a song and transform it from what was, into an entirely new production. Which is the case with [...]

You'd think Joywave would take a tiny breather after the release of the 88888 mixtape. Nope. There's still remixes to be shared. This time, the Rochester band gets their hands on Big Black Delta's single, "Side of the Road". It's a pretty eclectic rework, with more vocal effects than you can shake a stick at. Yeah, I used that phrase. Deal with it. I'm currently sampling Big Black Delta's debut, self-titled album. If you're a fan of dark, moody synths, I recommend checking it out here . [...]

That lone trumpet playing throughout Joywave's 'Dying Well' sure as hell reminded me of Homeland's opening credits - well, up until I rewatched them. It may not remind me of the credits anymore, but there's gotta be something Homelandish about this. Besides that meaningless frustration, 'Dying Well' carries some well supported vocals by none other than that lonely trumpet. This whole piece carries pretty damn well in fact. Wish the rest of Joywave's 88888 mixtape did as much. I just didn't find anything else that stuck in my head so [...]
@joywavemusic @KOPPS_ Joywave - Tongues (feat. KOPPS) I have a lot of love for Upstate New York but I wouldn’t call it the hotbed for innovative eletro-pop music (until now?). This is a collab between two Rochester groups and the result is downright killer. The track’s featured on Joywave’s 88888 Mixtape released a few weeks back, which you can grab for free here . // https://soundcloud.com/joywave /tongues?in=joywave/sets/88888 -mixtape

The universe of electronic dance music is daunting enough to wade through even if the listener is familiar with the genre. Especially today, EDM seems to have set itself as a prevalent genre-a force to indeed be reckoned with, for lack of any better cliche. Music festivals, if not setting aside a whole day for the scene, continue to fill setlists with electronic dance music and its popularity is still rising. Appeasing a electro-lover is no easy feat, however. Like with any taste, those who are preferential will let you know damn well who is talented and who is a [...]
Last month, Rochester, New York band, Joywave reworked and reintroduced material from their debut EP, Koda Vista , and free released it as the 88888 mixtape . The first single, " Tongues ," is a wonderfully infectious Hot Chip-inspired track that also features Rochester DJ KOPPS. MP3: Joywave - Tongues (Feat. KOPPS)
Démarche intéressante du combo de Rochester Joywave qui fait du neuf avec du vieux en déstructurant son propre EP Koda Vista édité l'année dernière. Le résultat sort sous la forme de 88888 , soit une mixtape de 11 titres dont " Tongues " en featuring avec Dj KOPPS, morceau sautillant vraisemblablement composé sous acides et influencé par Hot Chip. Cet article Tous en Tongues ! est apparu en premier sur LeMellotron.com .
Hey ya'll. I'm trying something new here, making a mix and all. As long as Marc doesn't fire/murder me, this should be a monthly feature, so be stoked. What I've done here is thrown together 14 of my favorite tracks from the beautiful month of April. Any and all genres were up for grabs but O'm no professional DJ, and I'm not even using proper software for the job, so bear with me as I learn and improve for future mixes. But yo Junkies, because I'm so nice - I'll provide you with myriad forms of listening. [...]
POSTER BY LYDIA CONKLIN Down at SXSW this year, there was one artist that really blew our minds more than anyone else. That band, and person, was Norwegian jive rocker Mikhael Paskalev . His debut tracks "I Spy" and "Jive Baby" are contagious as all hell and we're obviously not the only ones who share that opinion as his set at our party, The Beehive , was one of the most highly attended of the day. On June 4, Mikhael will be headlining a party we're hosting at Pianos in Manhattan alongside some of our absolute favorites [...]
PRINTS is the multimedia project from Brooklyn-based music producer and remixer, Alan Wilkis. The project is a multifaceted series of original music, artwork, remixes, and videos being revealed over the course of 2011-2013. The process begins with Wilkis writing an instrumental piece, and then collaborating with one or more vocalists on the track, or “print,” [...]
Hey now - april floods will hopefully bring may flowers. But like the rain, great music has been flooding in over the last few weeks, and that doesn't even take into account Daft Punk's much, much, much-awaited LP due out in about a month. With that, wanted to give you a mix of 8 songs to chew on. Enjoy. 1. Portugal. The Man - Purple Yellow Red and Blue Great to see that a new album from Portugal the Man is due out in the not so distant future (june 4). A steady [...]

I heard you like listening to music without having to pay for it, you little pirate you. Well you won't hear Joywave saying "ARGGHHH MATEY! GIVE ME YOUR BOOTY! AYE AYE CAP'N!" or other pirate jargon because they decided to put their mixtape on their site for free! How ever-so-nice of them (sorry... I was watching Hey Arnold recently and really feel for Arnold. You see Lila only likes Arnold, she doesn't like him like him. Lila always says ever-so-something). Okay weird tangent aside, check out Joywave's new mixtape and get down with your [...]
A Quick Word from the Author: I made a joke to a friend the other day that the Indie Sabbath is a bit like The Daily Show with Jon Stewart—as in we both go on random hiatuses for extended periods of time, only to return for a bit and joke about our absence. It's a recurring pattern that I hate as much as the rest of you, but school, jobs, and my major work with Earmilk often gets in the way. Luckily however, summer is coming [...]
