JOI NOIR (pronounced Joy Noir) are a revelation but you’ll know that as soon as you hear them. New songs by a new band rarely make your heart flutter but listening to Mercury and Crashers and Wild Way Hope you can’t help thinking they’re so instantly memorable the band must be wired into an illegal song-writing machine. A pure blast of euphoric alt-rock, their Celeste album has a feel of the classic about it - like something you’ve had knocking around the house for years. 

Produced by Stephen Hague (Pet Shop Boys, New Order) – “I was attracted to her voice and the demos reminded me of the Banshees, Pixies and Pretenders” – and the band themselves.

“The album encompasses the celestial, the divine, the earth and humankind,” says Olga, who has a BA in Psychology and much experience working with teenagers with drug and alcohol problems. “Did God create man or vice versa? It is about the relationship between all these things.” 

As soon as you start listening to Celeste you are in the UK. In 1980. The post-punk, proto-goth sound of Siouxsie and the Banshees and Joy Division permeates Joi Noir’s work in the angular guitars, in Gallo’s powerful voice and in the production of Stephen Hague. Crashers with a brooding, New Order-like bassline and an ominous chorus, is a good place to begin.
