Welsh rock trio The Joy Formidable return with yet another huge step forward, in the shape of fourth album AAARTH. The Joy Formidable will be live in-store at Rough Trade Nottingham, Rough Trade Bristol and Rough Trade East to perform tracks from new album ‘AAARTH’. The Welsh trio (vocals & guitar RItzy / bass Rhydian / drums Matt) release their fourth album. It was recorded in their mobile recording studio with songs created all over the world then brought home to roost in the Welsh hills and made into a lush new album.

A little bit grungy, a little bit hard rocky, even a little bit of metal-tinged chug. Ritzy’s smooth vocals soar and dive over churning, swaying lurching fluttering guitars, grinding bass and relentless drums. It’s not all hard-hitting alt-rock though – a skilful hand on the power-on button means there’s room for a sweeter side and a push me, pull me tug on the dynamics.
