Following their critically acclaimed debut EP ‘You’re Welcome’, Modern Guilt have kicked off 2022 in style by announcing the release of brand new single ‘Joy Control’.

Hailed by tastemakers including John Kennedy (Radio X), praised by This Feeling as one of the ‘Best New Bands’, and championed by the likes of Bobby Gillespie (Primal Scream), Shell Zenner (BBC Radio / Amazing Radio) and Rowena Alice (BBC Radio / Boogaloo Radio / Islington Radio), Modern Guilt “are re-igniting and modernising their era and genre influences in a strong flame of colour” (Listen To Discover).

‘Joy Control’ is the band’s first release following last year’s ‘You’re Welcome’ EP. Produced by long-term collaborator Mikey Buckley, the new single sits somewhere between the sounds of Motown and the New Wave scene of 1970’s New York City. While lyrically it depicts the frustrations of watching an individual, for a multitude of reasons, choose not to become someone you thought they could be.

‘Joy Control’ will be released digitally on Friday 25th February and will be accompanied by an official visualiser.
