ファーストアルバム「The Big Roar」でドリームポップ、シューゲイザーなどの枠で取り上げられたのも束の間、MUSE, Foo Fighters など大御所US UKバンドの前座で、アメリカ、イギリス、ヨーロッパ中心にプロモーションを重ね、2012年の秋頃からレコーディング、マスタリングはNEW YORKで手がけた待望のセカンドアルバム。効果的にシンセを混ぜ、壮大なコーラスとスケールアップし、良い意味で前作を超え、塗り替えた作品に仕上がっています。
疾走感あるオープニングトラックのThis Ladder Is Ours, キラーチューンのCholla, 2012年の初頭のClarks Originals UKツアーで初披露したアコースティックなSilent Treatment。アルバムは9:35の壮大なピアノと混沌に包まれるThe Turnaroundまで全11曲。US制覇を続けるプロモーションのため、日本での来日はまだ一度のみ、余談だがファーストアルバムに収録の8曲は京都の丸山神社に訪れた際、感動して作曲された逸話も。ベースのリディアン、ギターボーカルのリッチーは共に、ギタリスト出身で、足下には20近いエフェクターを揃えている、楽曲の随所に鳴り響く個性的なフィードバック音も、このアルバムの聞き所です。

ポール・マッカートニーのツアーもサポートした大注目バンド=The Joy Formidableの2作目。Biffy Clyroなんかもそうだけど、イマイチこういう「ロック・バンド然」としたバンドって日本で受け入れられないよね。みんなFoo FightersとかFeederのことは好きなくせにさ。紅一点リッツィ・ブライアンの力強くて艶やかなヴォーカルと硬派で分厚く骨のあるギターで、圧倒的にポジティヴなメロディをダイナミックに大規模展開するその演奏は間違いなく一級品だから、日本で人気が出ないのが本当に不思議だし、単純に楽曲の素晴らしさだけで「好きか嫌い」を判断してみたら答えはすぐに見つかるはず。業界に大絶賛の荒らしを巻き起こした前作以上に壮大で官能的で、何よりメロディアスな本作は間違いなく2013年のベスト・ディスクのひとつ。

Don't wonder, just get it

Love it, love it, love it...TJF has solidified themselves as my favorite new band of 2013 (For me…I just discovered them in 2013, despite the wonderful "The Big Roar" coming out in 2011 and many of their songs that I can't hear often enuff being release years prior to that).
TBH, I was massively disappointed with this album when I 1st got it. I think it's because I was so enamored with The Big Roar; after all I felt every song on there (well most of them) were brilliant. They just led perfectly from one to another and I completely enjoyed listening to it over and over. So when I 1st purchased and listened to Wolf's Law, I thought "meh...". I have NO IDEA how that could be, looking back today.
I believe now, I enjoy listening to this album MORE than TBR (Tho Whirring remains one of my favorite songs and Cradle, Heavy Abacus & Austere a on a Best of if I made one for someone to introduce them to The Joy Formidable).
From top to bottom, I get into every song on this one...and now, songs that I initially thought "wha...?" when I listened to the 1st time I now LOVE (Maw Maw Song & Tendons in particular). This is one of those albums where it would be hard for me to pick one Favorite. Little Blimp, Leopard and the Lung, Forest Serenade (this is silly, I'm just going to list the entire d*mn album)...buy it. It's fantastic.
This band seems special to me....The energy, the sound, there's something about them. I've watched online clips of bands in concert before to catch a live version of a song or two, but never have I sat down and watched every live video I could find. These guys are amazing. I had a chance to catch them in Boulder this year but didn't cuz "life" had other plans, but I wish I had. I'm hoping they make back out here so I don't make the same mistake. They're on a VERY short list of bands that I'd pay to see in concert.

sometimes difficult but overall an astonishing inventive inspiring beautiful affair
2013年1月26日に英国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
'This Ladder Is Ours' (the opening track) is the best that they've done so far! Inventive energetic melodic, a great sand sorry sound blast, life affirming & the most inspiring beautiful number heard since The Jezabels 'So Hard' which is saying something. Well how are they going to follow that (sic) step. Do they need to? No they don't. In any case let's give the rest a go. 'Cholla' is more of a noise blitz & doesn't do so much for these ears even if Ritzy injects interesting bits & guts into it & there are some imaginative abrupt time changes. More tender is 'Tendons' which is a fine experience "careful of the night" with all out guitars & even includes some harp. 'Little Blimp' has a slightly different sound via riveting bass & is quite OK. 'Bats' is a slightly uncomfortable metallic affair "I had a reason but it went away" where they go in for one of their extended ending onslaughts. 'Silent Treatment' is a gentle acoustic guitar number "it is all you'll get from me" and adds a quiet relief & variation. Via a Japanese sounding start (a harp) the 'Maw Maw Song' then excitedly thunders along, whereupon it suddenly changes & strangely sounds like The World Of Oz's 'The Hum Gum Tree' (an obscure 60s track), then eventually seems to head in the direction of present day Muse with all out guitar pyrotechnics. Don't really get this but somehow this strange mixture seems to work. 'Forest Serenade' is a nice extension of the melody & energy of 'Ladder' "don't be the hand that takes lulls my forest serenade" and is more excellence. 'The Leopard & The Lung' with some fast piano trilling is more of a noisy electronica fuzz fest but then moves into gentleness with vocals provide by both Rhydian & Ritzy and becomes quite euphoric & anthemic. 'The Hurdle' is a pretty enough lilting acoustic fuzz buzz "that's why our mother believed". 'The Turnaround' reminds of Jackie De Shannon and is a pretty 60s style ballad with some beautiful high emotion from Ritzy which shows the extraordinary range of this album "fortune turns quick & then it's gone". The hidden number is seemingly the actual album title track 'Wolf's Law', which begins quite unassumingly "pretend it is dawn...we are under wolf's law" but then becomes epic climatic & one of the best on the album. Let's hope impatient listeners don't remove the CD before arriving at this one as it really is an emotional tour de force established by melancholic piano chords before building up into a climax with plenty of electronica darting around. Play the 9m33s 11th track first with the album on replay. Astonishing.

Wer künstlerische Qualität sucht, wird hier fündig. Nach "A Balloon Called Moaning" und "The Big Roar" ist dies die logische Fortsetzung des Werkes von "The Joy Formidable". Die Band hat ihren eigenen Sound gefunden, der aber nie langweilig wird, da die Band es schafft, sehr variabel, detailverliebt und musikalisch fein zu sein.
An der Seite von Rhydian Dafydd, dem vielseitig begabten Bassisten und Matt Thomas, dem positiv bekloppten Schlagzeuger, der etwas an das "Animal" aus der Sesamestraße erinnert, sticht Frontfrau Ritzy Bryan als geniale Songschreiberin aus dem homogenen Trio heraus. Vor allem lyrisch sucht "Wolf's Law" im Hinblick auf die letzten 10 bis 15 Jahre Musikgeschichte seinesgleichen. Es gehört vielmehr in die Kategorie "Nirvana" und "The Doors".
Musikalisch ist das Album insgesamt sehr ausgewogen. Von Knalleffekten à la "Maw Maw Song", dem melancholischen "Silent Treatment" bishin zu dem groovigen "Little Blimp" zeigt die Band ein großes Spektrum an Qualitäten. Mein persönliches Highlight "Cholla" besticht durch einen Laut-Leise-Mix, den man in dieser Form bisher nur als Cobain'sche Spezialität kannte. Aber auch das Artwork ist einfach schön, was mir persönlich immer sehr wichtig ist.
FAZIT: Geniales Werk! Ich nehme meinen Hut und gebe alle Sterne, die ich nur geben kann. Wer hierbei nicht in eine musikalische Traumwelt entführt wird, hat sich wahrscheinlich komplett im Genre geirrt. ;)
PS: Obwohl nur 11 Songs hier beschrieben sind: Die gleichnamige Single "Wolf's Law" ist als "hidden track" (so versteckt ist der gar nicht) am Ende von Lied 11 ("The Turnaround") zu finden.

Gros rock qui tache mais qui sait rester mélodique, les compos accrochent et savent toujours trouver une nouveauté ou une originalité.

My joy is formidable
2013年4月22日に英国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
After their excellent debut, Wolf's Law marks a more consolidated sound from Joy Formidable - a lot of the songs on here are more accessible than the joyously experimental 'Big Roar' was, but again the strength of songwriting craft, love of big blowouts and sheer noise that the trio conjure up more than makes up for the dialled down eclectism. There's a sense of fun here - a band with their feet on the ground after a great couple of years and plenty of ideas waiting to be tapped into.
