    Scattered takes of pop, gruff-punk and sun-kissed melodies underpin these tales of despondency to cement a whole new style for a band near two decades in, a sound that Joyce Manor have yet to have presented but one that fits them perfectly, and a masterful progression of all that has come before.

    Their seventh album is clever, arch and compelling. [Mar 2026, p.79]

    It doesn’t hurt that the music hums along with the hooky economy of Guided by Voices and a punk poet’s sensibility. Hearing them continue to grow and evolve keeps me coming back for more than just a nostalgia trip.
