Joy

Central to Joy and The Peep Tempel's earlier albums is vivid storytelling. Characters in their songs are personified by varying vocal styles, with the band's rhythm section and off-kilter guitar sound, creating music that pounds, lurches and staggers around creating a perfect backdrop for each short story.

With Joy, for the most part, is an exploration of the human state of mind. Human thought is a pure and true chaos and the album represents the full spectrum of it, from the paranoid, yet elated "Totality" to the stark, isolated landscape of "Constable."
