Shot in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil on 8mm film, it looks to us like an indie sea side version of the Wonder Years title sequence. We must warn you it probably will make you want to quit your job and leave for California with only an acoustic guitar…

Little Joy Released: 02/11/08 by Little Joy

The new project from everyone's favourite stroke Fab Moretti, LA musician Binki Shapiro and Rodrigo Amarante who plays on Devendra Banhart's 'Smokey Rolls Down Thunder Canyon' album alongside having his own band Los Hermanos. It's a tastefully executed cocktail of calypso-garage-folk that's reminiscent of both trashy lounge bars and tropical coast lines. Our favourite tracks include the scratchy and glorious sunshine pop of 'No Ones Better Sake', and the heart breaking acoustic number 'With Strangers' which sounds like it was taken direct from a 40's acetate.
