Release Date: 03/11/2008

little joy is the new project from everyone's favourite stroke fab moretti, la musician binki shapiro and rodrigo amarante who plays on devendra banhart's 'smokey rolls down thunder canyon' album alongside having his own band los hermanos. it's a tastefully executed cocktail of calypso-garage-folk that's reminiscent of both trashy lounge bars and tropical coast lines. standout tracks are the scratchy and glorious sunshine pop of 'no ones better sake', and the heart breaking acoustic number 'with strangers' which sounds like it was taken direct from a 40's acetate. on rough trade.
