A-Side
Whilst most Gay dad Tracks were written with the band work together Joy! originates from a recording created by Cliff Jones ten years as a student at Durham University. The finished track combines Krautrockmetronomic beats, a fluid bass line and scruffy Guitar riffs with a plethora of synth effects ultimately ending with a gospel recital of the lyric "Goodbye my darling I'm ready to die". In a Sound on Sound interview, lead singer Cliff Jones described the song as sounding "like a record that was made 10 minutes in the future".[1]
