“Anger and Decency” video release, first single of forthcoming States of America album!

Anger and Decency” is one of two tracks on our upcoming record States Of America (June 11) that interpolates and re-contextualizes the punk-funk riff and spoken word vocals of “Thunderdome”, a song originally premiered on Bob Boilen’s All Songs Considered.  Like “Thunderdome”, the video for “Anger and Decency” was done by Damien Davis.  Damien did wonderful work once again, especially in that, like the song itself, the video shares material with “Thunderdome” while transforming it into something fuller and wilder.  As Anna’s remix, subtitled “Waves Mix,” takes what was once rock’n’roll and turns it into lush electronica, Damien paints a picture of music as something beyond the auditory.  Beautiful sound and psychedelic overlayed imagery take Joy on Fire into new connections of visual and sonic territory!
