Folk rock band Mt. Joy’s early singles had an amiable folk sound with a bedroom recording aesthetic. But even if they sounded brittle, they were really bursting with life, just begging for a warmer and more expansive treatment. New single "Silver Lining" fulfills that purpose – the lush and homey harmony, which packs a familiar folk-meets-roots combo, has a big-hearted, anthemic quality that, even if a tad too slick for its own good, does harbor an inviting air..
"Silver Lining" can be found on Mt. Joy’s self-titled debut, which is out on March 2nd through reputable folk/Americana label Dualtone Records. You can catch them perform a hometown town – before they head out on tour with Neko Case next year – at the Lodge Room in Highland Park on December 8. Juan Rodríguez
