    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

I've been thinkin it wasn't the drinkin
That put me in the state I was in but where was the leavin
Runnin the rat race even with guitar cases
All that living out and in, what kept me down

Anne stopped calling, I stopped trying
Pushing notes under the door like something's dying
It’s just a restless evening, I've got a bottle with me
It complements that easy feeling, got a long way to go

I've been falling, without warning
My mouth was full of the words of a fool, but there's no recalling
Wondering my way out, working my way through
Yeah I'm telling these far out stories but only to you

Anne stopped calling, I stopped trying
Pushing notes under the door, like something's dying
It’s just a restless evening, I've got a bottle with me
It complements that easy feeling, got a long way to go

I can't relate, it's just blue and gold
Just blue and gold in a lifted body with a drifting soul
And my every day is like an avalanche
Almost every day has been catching me up, without even asking
