Take a few minutes of your day to check out this weeks Band of the Week, Joy Wants Eternity. Their songs are lush, atmospheric soundscapes reminiscent of Mogwais more beautiful and melodic moments. But they also obviously find inspiration in My Bloody Valentine.

Decoymusic.com review of “must you smash your ears…”

“…The EP is astounding, the title seems to invite you to interpret the music visually… Nonetheless I did try to imagine what could be happening and, to me, the music conjured up the scene from Bambi where his mother dies. Except instead of being shot shes hit by a jumbo-jet, oh and it was all in space. 4/5”

“Must You Smash Your Ears Before You Learn to Listen With Your Eyes” is a chilling recounting of everything that is going right in the post-rock world.

“…Their ambient sound unfurls comfortably, layering keyboard melodies over amber guitar riffs and astral drones, similar to Kinski’s lighter moments or Slowdive’s wordless sprawls….”
