Welcome Joy is an album that barely missed out on my top 10 of 2009 list. Although they are on a fairly prolific label (Matador), I didn't hear much fanfare concerning them. From the remains of the sorely underrated Pretty Girls Make Graves, Derek Fudesco teamed up with Pete Quirk (Hint Hint) and Marty Lund (Cobra High) to create a visceral, warm and absolutely gorgeous debut album.
With hints of Bowerbirds, Phosphorescent and Akron/Family, they craft echoey and haunting songs that burrow into your brain stem and remain there for weeks.
