Mt. Joy Essentials

Mt. Joy Essentials

Since its viral emergence in 2016, Mt. Joy has established its longevity with playful and unvarnished indie-folk songs. The wry stoner anthem “Astrovan” was the Philadelphia-formed quintet’s breakthrough, but its spirited 2018 self-titled debut demonstrates a range of stylistic modes. “Silver Lining,” singer Matt Quinn’s commentary on drug addiction, catapulted Mt. Joy to the top of the alternative charts. The 2020 release Rearrange Us boasts a fuller sound courtesy of producer Tucker Martine; the trademark stomp-along folk tunes come infused with funky and soulful touches—see the slick disco break in “Strangers” and the bluesy Rhodes licks that adorn “Let Loose.”
