Description
Joyce Manor are back with the new album, Million Dollars To Kill Me. Frontman Barry Johnson along with co-founding guitarist Chase Knobbe, new drummer Pat Ware and longtime bassist Matt Ebert, wrote enough songs to fill a full-length, and then worked to get songs lifted from emails between Johnson and one of his musical hero Impossibles” guitarist/vocalist Rory Phillips, with whom he had been co-writing long distance, to match the ones written at full volume. “”Bedroom charm versus live rock band,”” Johnson explains. Their next step was a new step: their first time recording outside their L.A. hometown, at Converge”s Kurt Ballou”s GodCity studio in Salem, MA. They recorded daily 10-to-6 and then slept right upstairs in bunk beds: “”Kinda felt like camp,”” adds Johnson. “”It was a pleasure – I would recommend it to anyone.”” If 2016”s Cody was about growing up, then Million Dollars To Kill Me is about what happens next – the reckonings with love, money, doubt and confusion, and the hope that persists despite it all.
