Having the courage to enjoy a new journey, and the mystery and excitement of something unexpected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;It\u2019s about opening your eyes to beauty and love again. Making it to the other side. Whilst not conceived as a metaphor for the times we all live in now, it certainly turned out that way.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Formed in Mold, Flintshire, in 2007, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/thejoyformidableofficial.bandcamp.com\/\">The Joy Formidable<\/a><\/strong> are Ritzy Bryan (lead vocals, guitar), Rhydian Dafydd (bass, vocals) and Matthew James Thomas (drums, percussion).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">Diffuse thinking<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ritzy says of the video: \u201cI am always daydreaming in the bathtub between recordings. That diffuse thinking where your mind wanders freely &#8211; I always finish songs when I\u2019m in that state. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;The idea that your imagination, that escape into another, deeper world can sometimes create a stronger connection with yourself.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Over four albums TJF have built a fanbase from lovers of everything from alt-rock to dream pop, and shoegaze to post-punk. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They have supported acts like The Cure, who they <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/ipamusic.co.uk\/?p=2033\">shared a bill with in Glasgow<\/a><\/strong> in 2019.
