The Joy Formidable - Popinjay

[quakeroats0316]

i have yet to listen to a song i dont like by them

[PBandJacob]

@JeremysHouseStudios. Have you checked out their acoustic performances?

She doesn't need the vocal enhancements I think it's just the sound their going for. She has a great voice all by it's self. I seen them live and their performance was INCREDIBABLE!!!

[JackkTheLad]

this is the best song ive ever heard

[whitewarrior12]

I want into Rizy's pussy.

[MortalSyntax]

@whitewarrior12 It has teeth.

[whitewarrior12]

@MortalSyntax shut up dude.

[MortalSyntax]

@whitewarrior12 Just a joke :D

[whitewarrior12]

@MortalSyntax oh....lol

[JackkTheLad]

@MortalSyntax serious, ive heard about it

[Malithis]

I literaly just discovered this band and have watched their videos. Other than cradle i love the style they bring to music videos. Yes they sound like a few bands, but hell who doesn't. For those who think this video sucks i have advice from my teacher who is a famous producer. If you don't like it, get a band, be successful, then make your own video. Then in this case get played on radio stations get 100000 views then complain. :P

[enfuriae1]

Seriously? Jesus playing chess with crows? That was the best they could come up with? What a waste of Chis Mills' talent. Shitty song to boot. Yuck. Really like the rest of TJF's stuff, but this one is a huge disappointment. They truly are a Metric copycat band....

[JeremysHouseStudios]

@enfuriae1 said the liar

[enfuriae1]

@JeremysHouseStudios Said the disillusioned moron...drink up klootzak cause if I'm a liar, then what are you? Bend over and take one for your team, cheerleader.

[JeremysHouseStudios]

@enfuriae1 ha... just jokin around bro. get those panties out of a knot. this band is veryyy good though..

[enfuriae1]

@JeremysHouseStudios I'm not a "bro" & aside from the high pass filters, I really do enjoy TJF a LOT. I'm just not a huge fan of this particular song. It seems that they like to mimic ideas that other bands have already done. The lyrics and overall sound are great though. I just wish she'd steer away from all of the vocal enhancements. They're obvious and overdone. Maybe that's what they're going for though. Personally I prefer a more organic sound. The studio effects can get a bit obnoxious.

[fitznicely]

This video is a blatant rip off of Arcade Fire's video for Laika.

Good song though.

[angieyseren]

@fitznicelyWhat.. you mean its animated and got a crow in it x

[kennymccannful]

Pop? you kidding me. At the End of Whirring I want you to explain to me what pop sounding

The fact that the lead is a girl, she gets put into a pop sounding poser labeled

[angieyseren]

@kennymccannful Too right :)



[corman123456789100]

songs great... crappy video

[8lu3fox]

I first heard this band last night on the radio with the song "Whirring." I could tell the band had potential, but didn't care too much for that particular song; the vocals were somewhere between good and annoying. This song, on the other hand, is pretty good.

[CRileymcr]

@8lu3fox other way around for me

[cirquexduxsoleil]

i liked this song, but i find them a little too pop for my liking.

[WarGoatForestWolf666]

God, this video is awful. Great band though.

[karrodde]

this track isnt on the album ö.Ö

[oxalado]

very nice!

[mysurf89]

deerhoof are an addictive band :) there's a connection there somewhere....they're both amazing?

[GintokisGirl95]

I'm going to make it VERY clear that I've fell in love with this band; they're so addictive with their trippy beats and amazing vocals! :D

[CatandTig]

They with/She with.

[Zippymt]

Best band I have heard in a very long time and the whole album is great not just a song or two.

[stapleshotz]

[splinter360]

[pluke63]

I will buy The Big Roar on January 24th!

[valjester805]

[ShortestFuse]

Did Paul Draper produce this one?

[cosgr00ve]

Jello Biafra meets Hawkwind meet The Nuns - it can't get any better than this! Excellent song and highly addictive, too - thanks alot!

[acac3991]

[AndrewKevinNewtonTV]

[vcr911]

[zonglion]

I'm 28,play Drums, and eat sleep and drink music since I was 13.....

And I think this is the best band I've ever heard.

[runfast900]

[HJManson]

[LiberateThisWill]

Love this song. Reminds me of Ladytron a bit with the layered voices etc...

Be awesome if they did an album of this darker, rockier style.

[JustEmzable]
