The following was taken from 'Breakfast Sessions' site and I thought it was rather nice so I hope they don't mind if I post it on here...
"So I'll set the scene for you, I posted about a track from an artist called Red Cassette and recently I received an e-mail from Sam of Monkey Love Records saying that he saw my post and wondered if I'd like some more info so I said yes and got the url for Monkey Love artists and one that immediately caught my eye was Joy Tourette, so I took a look see and was pleased to hear some music quite unlike pretty much everything floating about at the moment in the blogosphere (which apparently seems to be leaked Arcade Fire tracks right this second) this is slightly hypnotic electronica (kind of a bit like Cocteau Twins) mixed or even juxtaposed with a weird almost PJ Harvey like attitude and some darkly interesting (or perhaps just downright odd) lyrics, all in all worth some of your precious time. I expect there will be more from Monkey Love in the future on this here blog."
Wooooooo another review!!
Electro-swamp-folk artist Joy Tourette (no relation to that twat from Towers of London) is a one-woman project quite different from the majority of stuff floating around Norwich and beyond. Tourette's music couples harmonic layered vocals with caustic rhythms, plucking snippets from PJ Harvey, Missy Elliot and Tom Waits and mixing it all up to bring something new and fresh to the arena."
