SUMMARY:Joywave at Scala - Wednesday 6th November 2024 - 7:00 pm until 10:1
 5 pm 
DESCRIPTION:Cleanse is Joywave’s fourth studio album and is the follow-up
  to 2020’s Possession which released on March 13th 2020 as the world shu
 t down. With a virus ravaging the world and no possibility of touring for 
 the foreseeable future\, Joywave frontman Daniel Armbruster was once again
  able to dig into his own psyche and see what surfaced. The 10 tracks that
  make up Cleanse were conceived\, written and recorded in Armbruster’s h
 ome studio when “reminders of our fragile mortality were everywhere\, pu
 nctuated by the ongoing pandemic and civil unrest\,” he notes. “Cleans
 e became the words\, encouragement\, and occasional cautions that I would 
 want to share with you if this was the last time we spoke\,” Armbruster 
 reflects. Highlights on the album include the catchy and clever “Buy Ame
 rican\, “ the introspective “After Coffee” which celebrates the plea
 sures of the mundane\, the ambient groove of “Pray For The Reboot\,” t
 he brooding and expansive “The Inversion” and “Every Window Is A Mir
 ror” which according to Armbruster recalls “our inability to understan
 d the experiences of others.”\n\n“This is the first time since Joywave
  has been a known entity that I can remember no one explicitly asking me t
 o make a record. Our third LP\, Possession\, came out March 13th 2020\, an
 d the world stopped just a few days later. Our whole album cycle was dead 
 on arrival. We had spent close to 18 months making and setting up that rec
 ord. It was crushing to watch everything we had worked so hard to roll out
  in just the right way obliterated in an instant. But creatively\, the tim
 ing couldn’t have been better. Something more positive began to emerge.\
 n\nWith our dense touring schedule shelved\, I was able to reflect on past
  travels and appreciate them in a new way. But reminders of our fragile mo
 rtality were everywhere\, punctuated by the ongoing pandemic and civil unr
 est. The music began to encompass all of this. It became the words\, encou
 ragement\, and occasional cautions that I would want to share with you if 
 this was the last time we spoke. And with all this time spent looking inwa
 rd came the realization that there were still a few chips I was carrying o
 n my shoulder that I needed to let go of. Maybe you have those too.\nOne o
 f my first jobs ever was at a car wash. I thought of the band\, after year
 s spent on the road taking a breather. Going through that wash process. Wa
 tching all the dirt and mud stripped away. Coming out the other side refre
 shed and rejuvenated. Still having experienced everything from before\, bu
 t no longer wearing the scars.
