Joudy at Valhalla
Hailing from the mountains of Los Andes, Venezuela, NYC heavy Psych outfit Joudy synthesizes dissonant melodies, dark tones, and hypnotic rhythms into a sound somehow both austere and lush. Displaced by political unrest in their home country, the band reunited in the U.S. in 2020 and have since built a well-earned reputation for their explosive live performances, in contrast with their introspective lyricism.
Joudy’s third LP - Destroy All Monsters - “marries their history with the impossible challenges they’ve overcome both personally and professionally” (Wonderland Magazine). Destroy All Monsters is an invitation into oblivion and a hand reaching through the dark — a darkly atmospheric meditation on the hero’s journey and the resilience of the human spirit.
