The Joy Formidable Release New Album + Tour Dates


The Joy Formidable released their latest album, Hitch, March 25 via their own label C'Mon Lets Drift. They will be touring in support of the new record and will make a stop in New York.  Thursday, April 14, they will take the stage at Irving Plaza.  See below for more details and tour dates.

The band has also released a video for the first single, "The Last Thing On My Mind". The video is deemed NSFW…there are male backsides and pixilated male genitalia.  Check it out below.

Of the video...
"It's a song about freedom, about feeling alive & a part of that is about sexual liberation too, which is why we wanted to make a music video from the perspective of a heterosexual female gaze. It shows men in many forms, being free, being sexy, being watched, it's beautiful and provocative and is some small attempt to re address the existing imbalance of perspective and nudity in music videos"
