Welsh rockers The Joy Formidable have just announced their fourth album AAARTH with be released on September 28th via Hassle Records. Details of the album comes alongside the new single The Wrong Side, which was premiered on Radio 1 by Huw Stephens last night. Listen below.
The Wrong Side follows on from recent single Dance of the Lotus. Lead singer and guitarist Ritzy Bryan comments on the new record:
With life not always being that kind, you can either go down a really dark hole or you can smear yourself with colour and reverie and try to forget. That’s what we did with AAARTH; we threw ourselves into this beautiful vivacious collage of experimentation, real meets unreal, and stopped giving a fuck about things that didn’t matter, and started caring more about the things that are worth your time.
