My Heart To Joy – ‘Seasons in Verse’ + ‘Heavenly Bodies’
Two albums from My Heart To Joy, previously known as My Heart To Joy At The Same Tone.
Seasons in Verse
Heavenly Bodies
My Heart To Joy started out as a rough-around-the-edges punk band that reminded me of a less spastic Transistor Transistor. Upon the release of Seasons in Verse, however, My Heart To Joy evolved into a much cleaner band similar to Snowing, Castevet, or Street Smart Cyclist. Math-tinged punk rock played in a style similar to Braid has given these guys a surprising amount of fame which definitely allowed them to pick up label support and release a very-professionally done album. So far, Seasons in Verse has picked up a large amount of internet hype. This makes me really happy after getting Heavenly Bodies very soon after it came out and seeing how criminally unrecognized this band was at the time. I can only hope that their next album takes the band in an even more promising direction and they can tour around the Ohio region at some point soon.
