Joyeria will release his debut album, Decay Decay Decay, on July 31 via Dead Cactus, the album Follows the artist’s two previous EPs on Speedy Wunderground – FIM, and follow-up EP Graceful Degradation – Joyeria solidified his reputation for sharp-edged lyricism that finds the absurdity in the mundane, delivered with a shrug and a smirk.

The artist  has chosen to swerve putting the album on streaming platforms, and the record will only be released physically, with Rough Trade stocking a limited vinyl LP bundle featuring a companion poetry book and a unique, one-of-a-kind original drawing. Standard vinyl, CD, cassette and digital downloads will be available via Joyeria’s Bandcamp.

Discussing further his choice not to put the album on streaming platforms, Joy explains: “I can’t name a single system in any industry where the end goal of that system is the monetisation of the user, and that system remains democratic. It makes my stomach turn (as I’m sure it does for 99% of all artists) to think that every time I want to share or promote some music, painting, writing, photography etc… I need to involve some third party tech company as an intermediary. If the system only rewards money and nepotism, it also means it can’t be a meritocracy… so it therefore has no real artistic value.”

Album opener and new single “Duller Grey” takes a look at the present through the naive lens of childhood, with Joy sharing, “While the future may have once looked bright (in theory at least, I vaguely remember having this feeling when I was young), the reality of the present often feels like a duller grey where advanced technology is squandered on the precision-targeting of garbage products and ideas. As human rights remain under threat and war disrupts peaceful lives, it is no wonder we retreat into rose-tinted nostalgia as the grey turns to black.”
