This is the aural landscape of mind bending ecstasy and shattering heartbreak. This is magic-soulful. The center of this phenomenon is John and Rorika who met because of a mutual love of music. Their collaboration evolved into a whole that is far greater than the sum of its parts. Flavors of My Bloody Valentine, Swervedriver, The Cocteau Twins and Sonic Youth are there, but don't fully explain this shimmering anomaly. Their debut album despondent transponder was written, performed, recorded and mixed by this DIY duo from Sacramento, California called Fleeting Joys. Brilliant Californian drummer Matt McCord lends his skills to the project. After hearing despondent transponder, legendary Swervedriver drummer, Jez, has pegged the duo for collaboration on their next release. While appreciating the comparisons to My Bloody Valentine, it has never been the goal of Fleeting Joys to imitate what they admire. "It is merely a starting point to expand from, experiment with, and go from here. We simply love the experience of being drenched in crashing waves of beautifully distorted chords!" It's from this love that the song-crafting of despondent transponder answers the pop vs. noise riddle with catchy, at times - even happy - melodies and crashing instrumentals that rip through like a cyclone tearing up a trailerpark.
