Little Joy

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…

We’re very proud to announce that we will be releasing the new project from Rodrigo Amarante, Binki Shapiro, and everyone’s favorite Stroke, Fab Moretti. But why would they call their band Little Joy when it’s so obvious their music will bring so much joy into people’s lives? Apparently it’s because they’ve named it after their favourtie LA cocktail joint which, after listening to it seems apt for this tastefully executed cocktail of calypso-garage-folk that’s reminiscent of both trashy lounge bars and tropical coast lines. Thanks to the wonder of Myspace you can already listen to 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.
