One comment

The Joy Formidable spent a year holed up in their own studio in their native Wales writing and recording Hitch, their third full-length album, which is a tour de force if a little long-winded. You see, the record clocks in at roughly 70 minutes and many of its songs are over six minutes...

This one has me floored. Maybe it's partially because I woke up today with a flu or something and can't stop coughing, so I'm really dizzy and anything I've tried listening to has made me feel like I'm going to fall on the floor. But I...
