In 2019, joy transitioned to solo artistry, preparing the cocoon for PATREEARCHY, produced by Greg Saunier. Known for her soaring warble and dazzling costumes, the trappings of joy’s art coalesce here into a gossamer creature of mystery, of twinkling strings, of dreams wrought in solar flares. “Bless your name” lurches and spins like a thought singing in the mirror. “her0” is lush as a Busby Berkely fever dream. “Thrashhold” in contrast, has joy baring her fangs in a scintillating jangle of undulating guitars. Joan Baez’s “silver dagger,” buffeted with longtime collaborator David Hinson on violin, is witch’s vow of freedom.
