jess joy - WON'T BE KICKED OUT THE GARDEN (2025) [Hi-Res]

WON’T BE KICKED OUT THE GARDEN is a psychological, romantic comedy-drama about holding onto love in a world on edge. Harkening to the original sin, your narrator, joy, is possessed by chaos and impulses of the id—she is/they are the rebel child expelled from paradise, the fallen angel. joy dips in and out of fantasies, fragments into sparring personalities, goes on a discordant bender in Berlin, glides on the heels of saxophones, takes a folk-baroque flight to the moon, and wrestles with dying synthesizer dreams before being called back to Earth by kin, where the only way to return to one’s body is through feeling the pain of grief. Produced and mixed by Greg Saunier of Deerhoof, the album was made with main collaborators Laura Fisher and Alex Brownstein, and with artists Sarah McTaggart, Jermaine Butler, Byron Asher, and Kenny Zhao.
