Lyrics
I'm coming up like sunrise on a longer shadow
You can watch me on the hillside at the break of day
I'm coming up like steam on the boiling water
You can watch me disappear, fade away

I love when the robin sings, sweet things through an open door
How I've been waiting for these songs in the dawn
I live every loving day, strange things through an open door
How we've been waiting for these songs in the dawn

I've been listening to silence ever golden
You can hear it in the evening fading in
You've been hanging out in my mind to ease the burden
Just passing by my window then gone again

Coming Up

The Joy Mills Band takes a sonic turn on their new album, Echolocator, taking their soulful country and roots sound into new territory. The sound is clean and modern, vocals front and center. An eclectic set of influences from long-time band members takes flavors from singer-songwriters like Jenny Lewis and Sharon Van Etten and twangy southern rock classics from Supertramp and The Police. The rhythm section is no-frills straight ahead, and the atmosphere and vibe come from Lucien LaMotte's versatile lead guitar and Jack Quick's playful keyboards. Still classic and warm, the Joy Mills Band delivers 10 unfaltering songs on Echolocator, their fifth release, mixed by Julian Martlew and mastered by Ed Brooks (Resonant Mastering).

Since forming in 2011, the Joy Mills Band has released four recordings: Trick of the Eye (2012), Cat & Mouse (2013), Deep Cut(2015) and Coming Up (2017) featuring their balladeering and soulful country songs. Joy Mills, on acoustic guitar and vocals, is joined by Lucien LaMotte on electric guitar and pedal steel, Tom Parker on bass and vocals, Jack Quick on keys and Mike McDermott on drums. It's a well-grooved blend of roots, rock ‘n’ roll, folk and country.  

"Echolocator" will be released Jan 24, 2020.  Find more info at joymills.com
