“Bugland” No Joy — Bugland (2025)

Been listening obsessively to No Joy’s Bugland since it came out. Definitely in my current top 5 of the year. Also been revisiting Wait to Pleasure (pictured) and let me tell you: Hare Tarot Lies is just as transcendent as it was in 2013.

🎧 No Joy - Bugland (2025) Groupe canadien de shoegaze, No Joy sort du cadre du genre pour incorporer des éléments électro, appuyant les atmosphères et se tournant vers la dreampop. Ca a le bon goût des années 90, en mixant différents courants. nojoy.bandcamp.com/album/bugland

Partying with Kaleidoskop on www.byte.fm 5 to 7 pm CET with thanks to: Tess Parks via Fuzz Club Records @handdrawndracula.bsky.social @riotactmedia.bsky.social | James Jonathan Clancy | @kaiakater.bsky.social | Yasmine Hamdan |

“Bits” No Joy — Bugland (2025)

Modern Nature - The Heat Warps modernnature.bandcamp.com/album/the-he... After a few albums seeing how diffuse their sound could get (to brilliant effect), this probably counts as forceful? No Joy - Bugland nojoy.bandcamp.com/album/bugland Omnivorous shoegaze, with no sound left unturned.

'With IDM/maximalist/face-melting augur Fire-Toolz in tow, for an album with enough electronics to kill a horse, the coalition results in a sound that’s surprisingly natural – bristling, reactive and uncannily emotive' #NoJoy - Bugland is a Quietus Album of the Month for August buff.ly/7zI1l4p

long before Bugland, we handed @nojoy.bsky.social 's Jasamine White-Gluz a disposable camera and she gave us a window into her lockdown life (ft. cats, nature, Montreal construction cones) newfeeling.ca/2020/12/27/n...

No Joy - Bugland ok this album fucking rips. shoegaze is back, baby.

En ‘Bugland’, No Joy despliega un sonido saturado de giros electrónicos y guitarras desgastadas, con letras que evocan lo natural y lo efímero. La colaboración con Fire-Toolz intensifica un álbum de ocho piezas en continuo movimiento. www.mindies.es/review/criti...

You wanna talk shoegaze? Come at me. But @nojoy.bsky.social’s Bugland is more than just shoegazey, it’s its own living, breathing world. [ @handdrawndracula.bsky.social / @soniccathedral.bsky.social ]

No Joy's 'Bugland' Buzzes with Electro-Shoegaze Hyperrealism

🎧 Oh holy shit, this new No Joy album is co-produced by Fire-Toolz! That is so cool

genuinely can't stop listening to the new no joy album. this track in particular is tearing me asunder nojoy.bandcamp.com/track/jelly-...

Escaping This World Through No Joy’s ‘Bugland’: The latest album from the shoegaze futurist is far from a flat Earth, and only those who embrace its singular nature can escape falling into one. Read & listen: lnk.bio/s/b16bc Out now on @handdrawndracula.bsky.social / @soniccathedral.bsky.social /

Alongside the release of their new album, 'Bugland,' No Joy shared the music video for the song "Jelly Meadow Bright." newnoisemagazine.com/news-no-joy-...

BBC Radio 6 Music Huw Stephens' Roundtable Now Playing No Joy My Crud Princess

New & Notable: The latest record from No Joy is a triumphant work of dreamy 90s alt rock with a black metal touch courtesy of co-producer Fire-Toolz.

@nojoy.bsky.social's BUGLAND doesn’t bother with sticking to one genre or following a clean, predictable structure. It’s intentionally messy, layered and built to feel lived-in. @aarxn82.bsky.social reviews. beardedgentlemenmusic.com/2025/08/13/n...

No Joy - Bugland [85] is out now: www.metacritic.com/music/buglan... "It's a marvel of design and execution that registers mostly as activated, unrelenting noise pop and invites listeners to discover something new and joyfully befuddling every time they listen back." - AllMusic

WE RECOMMEND: No Joy: Bugland "Bugland sketches shoegaze as being something restless, a genre that move miles even while it seems to stand still. No Joy and Fire-Toolz meet in the overlap of the dream and the nightmare, riding the fractures of pop music into pure bliss." @nojoy.bsky.social

@nojoy.bsky.social reach into the shoegaze landfill and stumble across fierce, cybernetic treasure. With IDM/maximalist @fire-toolz.bsky.social (Angel Marcloid) in tow, the two strike a medium between futuristic music and the shoegaze of the past – @thequietus.com thequietus.com/quietus-revi...
