Further Joy is The Regrettes‘ third studio album. Vocalist Lydia Night described the meaning behind the name in a press release. “That phrase, ‘further joy,’ summarized what it meant to be on the hamster wheel of constantly chasing happiness, but in turn, that’s what makes you unhappy. I was stuck in a loop of wanting to be better, wanting to be good, and therefore I couldn’t be here. I couldn’t be present.”

In their January 2022 cover story for Alternative Press, the Regrettes previewed their new music to come.  Lydia Night captured the challenges and the growth that accompanied making music during a pandemic.

“The majority of [our new music] was written on Zoom,” Night explains. “It was awesome. It was such a learning experience. I doubted myself as a songwriter and thought that there was no fucking way I was going to be able to write with strangers on a computer. It was amazing and really fun and a totally different technique.”

You can head to the band’s official store or your local independent record store to preorder a limited edition 140g pink vinyl. Standard black vinyl and CDs are also available.

The Regrettes have also added new tour dates in April and May. Presale tickets go one sale March 8 at 10:00 a.m. local time with the password FURTHERJOY. Tickets then go on sale to the general public March 11 at 10:00 a.m. local time. Grab yours here.
