    The Joy Mills Band takes a sonic turn on their new album, Echolocator, taking their soulful country and roots sound into new territory. The sound is clean and modern, vocals front and center. An eclectic set of influences from long-time band members takes flavors from singer-songwriters like Jenny Lewis and Sharon Van Etten and twangy southern rock classics from Supertramp and The Police. The rhythm section is no-frills straight ahead, and the atmosphere and vibe come from Lucien LaMotte's versatile lead guitar and Jack Quick's playful keyboards. Still classic and warm, the Joy Mills Band delivers 10 unfaltering songs on Echolocator, their fifth release, mixed by Julian Martlew and mastered by Ed Brooks (Resonant Mastering).

lyrics

Deep as the water, slow motion and silent
Suspended in blue light, this whale is a pilot
Fish darting round, such small memories
Here and then gone, each one on its own

I gotta know how to start again
A little love and oxygen

Deep as the water, no sign of another
Cautious and floating, my mind in the gloaming
Remember the days, the voice of my mother
Echolocate me, I’m here in the water

Memories decorate and haunt me
Separation of time unknown
Leaves me searching in vain for miracles
The kind so sweet and mundane

Deep as the water, slow motion and silent
Suspended in blue light, this whale is a pilot
Fish darting round, such small memories
Here and then gone, each one on its own
