Building on the Arcadian, tessellated dreamscapes of their 2019 debut EP âCrisisâ,
Joviale returns with the brooding dynamism of new single âBlow!â. The North London polyhistor and their close collaborator Bullion place the remnants of an ill-fated love through a new wave and ska blender; Jovialeâs ever-expressive voice transitioning from acquiescent, soothing murmurs to sombre coos to symphonic vocal refrains as the track reaches its heady conclusion.
The sax-laden single comes loaded with a self-directed visual: The North Londoner expands their repertoire as an auteur, augmenting the corporeal feel of the song through a treatment that doubles as a scintillating performance piece. Mixing the earthy with monochromatic, mirage-like sequences, Joviale is the chieftain commanding their band of similarly-clad dancers in a choreographed ritual.
