Combining seven unique musicians, The Joy Hotel are almost folk/Americana’s answer
to the Wu Tang Clan – a collection of artists with individual voices and techniques
with a whole bigger than their considerable individual talents.  Opening with the
gorgeous ‘I Decline’ , Ceremony is a combination of 50s Americana, far-out-prog-
rock, delicate country and screaming shoegazing; all glued together will narratives
about pain, heart-ache, failing relationships, and the confusion of growing into
alleged maturity. Standout ‘Forever Tender Blue’ bleeds Chris Isaak type of heartbreak
over lush two-part vocals into the loveliest, heart-warming, take on heartbreak 
whilst “Old Man’s Eyes”  (with upbeat Deacon Blue pop soul) and “Small Mercy” (downbeat
Ryan Adams Love is hell territory) showcase an album full of ideas and soul.
