Joy Again have premiered ‘How You Feel’. the AA side of debut single ‘Looking Out For You’, with The FADER (US) and NME (UK). “probably the sweetest breakup-slash-crushing hard song of all time” (The Fader), “a sweetly-executed blast from start to finish” (NME).

Listen below, and pre-order the very limited single (just 300 copies w-wide) from Rough Trade now – out this Friday 15th January.

The FADER  has premiered the debut video from Philadelphia’s Joy Again. The clip for “Looking Out For You”, their debut single, was directed, filmed and edited by Sydney Shore and the band’s own Sachi DiSerafino, who also stars as the video’s protagonist. It’s a charming slice of DIY film-making that shows off the band’s wit, ambitions and their home city of Philadelphia. It also stars the band’s friends George Quinn, as Sachi’s love interest, and Nick Pedro as his love rival.

We are thrilled to announce that we will be releasing the debut single, from Joy Again on January 15th, 2016. Super limited to just 300 copies worldwide the vinyl can be pre-ordered here. Our friends at Mermaid Avenue/Mom+Pop will be releasing in the US.

Joy Again is a lo-fi recording project initially started by Sachi DiSerafino and Arthur Shea, both 18, turned full band with the addition of Sean Henry (23), Blaise O’Brien (16), and Logan Burke (17). The five boys all hail from different parts of Pennsylvania (and also New York City) and the youthfulness of the group evidently plays a part in the creation of their inherently fun and unique music.

After catching Shamir’s eye, the XL Recordings artist decided he had to get involved and he now manages the band. Shamir describes the guys as “Extremely aware of the world around them, dangerously smart and super mature without leaving behind that playfulness that a lot of people lose once they start to enter adult life.”

Joy Again recorded their debut AA single ‘Looking Out for You / How You Feel’ in the Red Bull Studios in New York with Producer Caleb Laven this summer.   Lead track ‘Looking Out For You’, available digitally now, is a bouncy tune lead by banjo and sweet harmonies, and once the chorus hits you can’t help but drop everything and clap along.  It’s a winner, check it out below.
