Available with Vinyl records London. Signed Merchandise Band Merchandise The Joy Hotel In the summer of 2018, two songwriters met and formed a friendship and a musical partnership. The chemistry was instantaneous. They called upon names they knew one by one until there were seven Emme Woods, Luke Boyce, Jack Boyce, Jack Borrill, Jenny Clifford, Juan Laforet, Scott Flanagan. The following three years were dedicated to writing and arranging songs and piecing together a live show.The Joy Hotel played their first at The Blue Arrow in Glasgow, which sold out through wordofmouth alone, as did their next three hometown headline performances at McChuills, King Tuts and St. Lukes, doubling the venue size with each show and selling every ticket they put on sale.They took the act to festivals across the U.K. Hidden Door, Doune the Rabbit Hole, Connect, TRNSMT, Twisterella, Latitude, Sound City, The Great Escape and to Europe France, Malta, Germany, Switzerland, the Netherlands.In October of 2021, the band spent eleven days at Rockfield, the legendary studio in Monmouth, Wales, recording livetotape. When they left, they had a sound. It is often contradictory, in that it combines the songwriting sensibilities of pop and country with arrangements reminiscent of the psychedelic scene of the 60s, sixpart vocal harmonies with elements of noise rock, beautiful balladry with a sense of humour, and is cinematic even when stripped of any visual aspects.The result of those eleven days is Ceremony, their forthcoming debut album, due for release in the summer of 2024 under So Recordings. This will be accompanied by a short film documenting the creation of the album called Come The Ringing Bell.TRACKLISTING1 I Decline2 Forever Tender Blue3 First Joy4 Jeremiah5 Black Balloon6 Rapid Eye Movement7 Old Man039s Eyes8 While You039re Young9 No Use10 Twenty Three A Comedy Part 111 Twenty Three A Comedy Part 212 Killing Time13 Small MercyOfficial merch from The Joy HotelSIZE INFORMATIONSizeWidth cmLength cmS4671M5174L5677XL61792XL6683
