Further Joy

2022 release. The Regrettes release their third studio album, Further Joy. The band, consisting of singer and songwriter, Lydia Night, as well as Genessa Gariano (guitar), Brooke Dickson (bass) and Drew Thomsen (drums), have written a manual for living in these times, replete with highly personalized songs about things were all going through. Further Joy is a step into the bands next era, and it is their most actualized, collaborative, and vulnerable album to date. These new songs, written in Nights singular voice and with vast influences including Pat Benatar, Blondie, and Gwen Stefani, touch on subjects such as anxiety and mental health, feeling lost in ones own environment, and coming to terms with ones sexuality. They are also about hope, embracing and standing up for your inner child. A lesson she hopes fans can take away from the album is that we all deserve happiness and to be present, and we'll never get there if we feel so much shame and guilt for not being there already, she adds. Don't get caught constantly chasing joy.
