Jasamine White-Gluz, the principal songwriter of Canadian shoegaze/noise pop band No Joy, and Sonic Boom, aka Spaceman 3 co-founder Pete Kember, have joined forces for a new EP. The collaborative effort is simply titled "No Joy/Sonic Boom" and is due out March 30th via Joyful Noise. Described in a press release as a “synth pop” EP with notes of “electronica, trip-hop and experimental noise”, the four-track effort came about from White-Gluz’s desire to explore music away from a four-piece “rock band”. No Joy / Sonic Boom is an experiment in testing boundaries and stepping out of comfort zones gone cosmically right.

First No Joy LP since 2015’s More Faithful. No Joy’s relentless sonic permutations are evidence of frontperson and principal songwriter Jasamine White-Gluz’s insatiable desire to grow.

Since first arriving on the scene in 2009 with blistering inversions of shoegaze, Montreal’s No Joy has always found formidable ways to reinvent itself. Now solely composed of musician Jasamine White-Gluz, No Joy has evolved over the course of four studio albums and five EPs, defying expectation and genre, and cementing itself as something rare: a band without a category.
