It’s Not A Trap: Joywave return with a groovy new single called ‘It’s A Trip’

Yesterday was Star Wars Day across the galaxy, and chances are your very clever cousin posted some variation of Admiral Ackbar’s “It’s a trap” meme (maybe he was talking about healthcare, we dunno). Now that the lightsaber dust has faded from our feeds, Joywave are back with no certain trap of any kind, unveiling new single “It’s A Trip” as another taste of the Rochester band’s upcoming sophomore album, Content.

This new LP, the eagerly anticipated follow-up to 2015’s How Do You Feel Now?, was produced by Joywave’s own Daniel Armbruster and Sean Donnelly and is out July 28 via Hollywood Records/Cultco Music. “It’s A Trip” follows last month’s title track reveal, and we’re here for it.

Just after the album’s release, Joywave hit the road with Young The Giant and Cold War Kids for a two-month North American tour that comes to the Blue Hills Bank Pavilion in Boston on September 14. Get all the dates below after properly digesting this tasty new Joywave jam.
