The Joy Formidable have spent the first half of 2012 gearing up for the release of their second album, Wolf’s Law, due out in early 2013. “Wolf’s Law” (the track/video below) will not be featured on the album but is a perfect pointer for the band’s second album, both musically and thematically.

I figured it would be around this time when I started finding summer mixes online. I’ve been tinkering with one myself, which hopefully I’ll be able to get to you soon.
Todays treasure is from the blog Music For Kids Who Can’t Read Good, called Summer (Or What It Sounds Like). Featuring a variety of great bands such as Phantogram, The Joy Formidable, Yeasayer, Free Energy and Local Natives, this mix is a 21 song playlist that you have to put on. I’ve been a fan of this site for quite a while now, do yourself a favour and check it out.
As well, just looking at the playlist, you get the sense it comes from a trusted source. A bunch of these tracks are not the album singles and promo tracks that hit everywhere on the net. They are those great tunes, tracks deep into great albums.
‘Popinjay’ by The Joy Formidable. The new single is available to download from iTunes and other digital services now. An extremely limited 7″ will be available from April 5th from your favourite independent record stores.
