Genres

New Cross folk survivors Holy Joy are back with their full name and a new collection of weirded-out alt pop. Juggling low-budget, South London-accented Americana with neo-classical soundtrack suites (‘Young Man Invests Faith in Flight’) and drum machine punk (‘Fishwives’), ‘City of Tales’ is a gonzo journey around the parts of the city buskers steer clear of.
