The Joy Formidable - Hitch

Review by Luke Beardsworth

Hitch doesn’t reinvent The Joy Formidable wheel but it refines everything they’ve done until this point and presents their most complete package yet»

Buy now from:

The Joy Formidable release their third album, 'Hitch'. The follow up to 2013's 'Wolf's Law' is released through the Welsh trio's own label C'Mon Lets Drift. 'Hitch' was self-produced by the band, and mixed by the legendary Alan Moulder. The new release showcases the evolution of the trio's sound and musicianship. The commanding guitar and lead vocals of Ritzy Bryan coupled with bassist Rhydian Davies and the stalwart stylings of drummer Matt Thomas perfectly align on the band's latest endeavor. From the atmospheric, Twin Peaks murk of 'The Gift' to the woozy rush of 'Running Hands With the Night', 'Hitch' is an album that fizzes with thrilling self assurance.
