Since the first time I heard “Whirring”, the biggest hit from The Joy Formidable’s first album, The Big Roar , I have been in love with the wall-of-sound feel that they manage to bring out in their alternative rock music. Their second album, Wolf’s Law , invokes that same sensation of awe and oversaturated eardrums that my first listen-to of “Whirring” treated me with. I love that effect. Ritzy Brian, the lead vocalist and guitarist for the power trio, projects her powerful yet feminine voice over the cacophony of sounds with powerful [...]
Jon Shard It's been a while since both Morrissey and Johnny Marr have been in the news simultaneously, and not just issuing denials of Smiths reunions. Moz, unfortunately, is making headlines for his health issues and resulting tour cancellations - though that's probably better than for making outrageously offensive comments - but Marr's press cycle is decidedly more positive as he's now just a week out from the release of his new record The Messenger . It's not entirely clear to me why [...]

![[LP Review] The Joy Formidable—Wolf’ s Law](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4788337_lg.jpg)
The Joy Formidable’s second studio album, Wolf’s Law , demands a careful ear. Although the album is approachable in a pop rock sense, it has none of the trappings of pop music: The album is creative, versatile and gives winks and nods to genres of music that grouchy music nerds like yours truly can appreciate! The listener will have a pleasant pop experience but will also enjoy some shoegaze, punk and yes, even some metal moments in this album. The album opens with “This Ladder is Ours”, which begins some gentle strings before launching into a poppy [...]
True fans of music spend countless hours searching for that next great song, album or artist, whether it be online or in a local record shop.

Living in the moment—and figuring out where you are when you get there—is something of a shared philosophy between Joy Formidable frontwoman Ritzy Bryan and bassist Rhydian Dafydd, one that serves them well regarding their just-released sophomore album, Wolf’s Law (Canvasback/Atlantic).

Mit ihrem dritten Studioalbum 'Wolfs Law' haben uns The Joy Formidable bereits Anfang des Jahres ein Album vorgelegt, was wir bis jetzt nicht mehr aus den Händen gelegt haben. Auf eine Benennung in den noch weit entfernt liegenden Jahrescharts können sich die 3 Waliser um Frontfrau Ritzy Bryan aber bereits jetzt schon freuen. Am Samstag [...] [[ This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more! ]]
The importance of contrast needn’t be understated when discussing the Joy Formidable. Much of their appeal rests within their formula for songwriting: charming guitar pop accompanied by thunderous, speaker-clipping levels of volume and enthusiasm. They established this blueprint with their first releases, A Balloon Called Moaning and The Big Roar . Without giving too much away, Wolf’s Law sounds similar to what has come before it, with a few notable exceptions. The album’s title comes from Julius Wolff, a 19th century biologist who suggested that bones of healthy organisms can physically reinforce themselves to adapt to increased [...]
