We live in an EP, YouTube ready, and singles only -- and I mean that in music terms -- world. So, when artists emerge with not just a full-length album but an amazing one at that, you have to figuratively hug the living crap out of it. Two acts, who fittingly worked together last summer, just put out two of the best albums of the year so allow me, if you will, to spread the love like cream cheese on a New York-style bagel. Joywave and Big Data did the EP and single thing last year. Together, they arguably had the song of last summer with the electro-pop smash "Dangerous". That was just a taste. Their respective debut albums take genres and swirl them up like toddler-ready food out of Baby Bullet. Joywave's up first. Joywave are described as an indie rock band, but the Upstate New York natives are so much more. Their album How Do You Feel Now? picks up where last year's How Do You Feel? EP left off. It's rock. It's pop. It's dance. It's everything. The first single "Somebody New" may be the best single of the year thus far, but dig deep into the album, and you'll have a problem deciding which song is better than the next. Most albums end up like Saturday Night Live in that the content disintegrates slowly over the course of the running time. Not true here. It actually builds momentum and is so damn infectious you'll run through the album twice before you realized you did. Moments before Joywave (Daniel Armbruster, Joseph Morinelli, Sean Donnelly, Benjamin Bailey, and Paul Brenner) opened for Bleachers at Terminal 5, a 'Wave pair sat down for a chat to discuss their own awesomeness, the new album, and how they can go from a '90s alt- rock vibe one moment, and a '80s-inspired jam the next.
