MP3 of the Day (and more!) #484: The Joy Formidable

By Mary Chang on Monday, 30th January 2012 at 10:00 am

Don’t have the Joy Formidable‘s album ‘The Big Roar’ yet? It was released a year ago so you don’t have much excuse for not having it. However, if for some reason you’ve missed this great band (though I’m not really sure how this is possible, after Dave Grohl of Foo Fighters proclaimed his love for them and took them out on tour in America), you can listen to and download album track ‘A Heavy Abacus’ below. And we were remiss for not posting the song’s official video, so that is embedded for your sonic and viewing enjoyment also.
