No Joy is a three-member shoegaze outfit from Montreal, and they have been making music since their debut in 2010 ?Ghost Blade?. Through the years they have slowly developed a sound that is distinctly their own and on their fourth album they continue taking good steps forward, but nothing amazing. I don?t quite love this album and it has to do with how bland of a listen this can be after a while. All the wash and noise gets very posh and by the end of the record, I am glad it is over. With that said, there are still some really solid ideas on here especially on the opener and ?Signal Noise?. A decent album and if you?re into shoegaze then you really should listen to this because it does deserve all the hype.
