“What is that feeling when you're driving away from people and they recede on the plain till you see their specks dispersing? - it's the too-huge world vaulting us, and it's good-bye. But we lean forward to the next crazy venture beneath the skies.” ― Jack Kerouac

“...human kind cannot bear very much reality”. But as Kerouac knew, impermanence is as much about loss as giddying freedom, and Joy Sparkes / Joe Miller enjoy giddying freedom.

Voraciously collaborative, Joy has lent her wide vocal range to Simplex (Obese Records), K21 ("Won’t Stop" has over 80,000 YouTube views and Theory of Face featured on the soundtrack to P.J. Hogan’s "Mental"), and the electronic trio Question Question (Pilot Records). Joe brings a DJ’s ear to the pair, having played alongside Andrew Weatherall, Agoria and Lusine. He won the inaugural Balance Community Mix competition in 2013, and has gained recognition from UK’s iDJ Magazine for his melodious and nostalgia-laced selections.

The pair first collaborated when Joy turned up at a picnic in the botanic gardens and sang into a conveniently-placed field recorder. The resulting track was quickly snagged by Amsterdam’s Manual Music and later re-released on the German Voltaire imprint. This year, they’re pairing up to write protest songs, thoughtful songs and fucking songs and press their first EP.

Manual Music is a record company, digital distributor and promo pool founded by @paul-hazendonk in 2005. For more info please visit http://www.manual-music.com
