The Joy Formidable have unveiled their contribution to Record Store Day, 'A Minute’s Silence', which is being released as a limited 12”. The track was inspired by Jonathan Franzen’s The Corrections, and has led to the author and lead singer Ritzy striking up an acquaintance.
‘A Minute’s Silence’ will be backed by the band’s cover of Bruce Springsteen’s ‘Badlands’. ‘Badlands’ is a live recording taken from a band session for Sirius XM. Lead singer Ritzy Bryan is happy to be part of the day, saying:
"We love buying music and we've always valued the atmosphere and experience of browsing a really great record shop. For that reason, it's a pleasure to be part of the celebration that is Record Store Day, and we're very excited to share our vinyl release of this brand new track, A Minute's Silence."
The 12” will be limited to 500 copies in the UK and available from all participating Record Store Day outlets on Saturday April 20th.
The Joy Formidable are currently on tour in the USA having recently returned to the UK for a string of dates ending in their biggest ever headline London show at the Roundhouse. The band will return to the UK for festival shows in the summer including already announced sets at Truck, Standon Calling and Boardmasters. Check www.thejoyformidable.com for all dates.
