Another Adventure in Red #7 in Concrete Islands’ Albums of the Year 2021

New Jersey jazz-rock trio Joy on Fire continued a prolific run here, proving that structure and melodic might can alter the consciousness with the same abandon as free improv. (Gareth Thompson)

Thanks again to Gareth Thompson and Stewart Gardiner at Concrete Islands for including us in their Albums of the Year list, we are honored to be a part of such a great group of records and artists. Check out the whole list here.

“With its eruptive stream of energy, Unknown Cities is another eye-popping ride on the wild side.” (All About Jazz) // Out now on Procrastination Records

Unknown Cities continues a prolific run for the band and opens with the tigerish “Kung Fu Tea Party.” It sets up their familiar template of buzz-saw guitars and punk-encrusted percussion, with saxophonist Anna Meadors soaring as ever to giddy heights.
