No Joy's sterling sophomore album 'Wait To Pleasure'** is out now on Popfrenzy Records! On this album, the band has flourished, delivering their finest set to date, rooted heavily in shoegaze ripcurls and devastating melody, finishing sentences whispered long ago with depth, variance and force.

The album has already received rave reviews from renowned media outlets Pitchfork, Allmusic and PopMatters.

"The sound is womblike, it blankets you, places you in a waking dream" - Pitchfork Media

" No Joy succeeds wildly on 'Wait to Pleasure', referencing enormous influences without really using them as the sole template for their sounds." - allmusic

"Most of the songs on Wait to Pleasure are short and sweet, and the album as a whole will leave you hitting the replay button repeatedly." - PopMatters

This year Record Store Day fell on April 20th, so it was only appropriate that the powered-by-weed outfit Best Coast stepped up to the plate to issue a 7″ platter. Even better, though, is how deep Beth went with the track titles for this high holiday, both sides nailing a classic dimension of stoner existential paranoia: “Fear Of My Own Identity” b/w “Who Have I Become” i.e. the sort of high-Qs that make people quit smoking (and turn to tinctures).

The A-side is streaming here, and while the lyrics are about long nights, abundant pain, fear, and hate, the bright distorted guitars, upper vocal melody, and tambourine shaking is pure sunglassed fuzz-pop. Have at it:
