CJ Boyd signs with Joyful Noise
September 14, 2009

Joyful Noise is pleased to announce today the signing of the prolific, virtuosic, and nomadic bassplayer C.J. Boyd. C.J. has been creating his ethereal soundscapes for nearly a decade, playing hundreds of shows and conveying his particular artistic ideals wherever his vegetable-propelled ambulance takes him.

JNR sister label Sounds Are Active released C.J.'s last true album "The Greatest Weight" in 2006. On November 10, Joyful Noise will be releasing his newest work - the 3 song, 45 minute Aerial Roots. Often flowing from singular, meditative bass lines into explosive, layered, and hugely complex walls of sound, CJ masterfully orchestrates waves of bass loops coupled with Jazz-driven improvisational prowess. C.J. Boyd's vision spawns a record that is quite beautiful, and at times enlightening. As Tiny Mix Tapes puts it, “this is heavenly stuff”...
