The Joy Formidable Get Their Guitars Wet in New Music Video for “Sevier”

This Friday, The Joy Formidable release their new album Into the Blue. As preview before their album comes out, The Joy Formidable have released a song from Into The Blue called “Sevier.” They will also be going on tour in November and finish in December (a few days before Christmas). Tickets are now on sale (ticket info for NYC show is below).

As she appears from beneath the river, Ritzy Bryan is already holding her guitar which “as can be seen” is completely wet like herself. This river is something that Bryan is very familiar with, and the vibe that sounds like it comes from the ’90s is another thing viewers can look forward to listening to. The grungy rock song comes off as kind of psychedelic.

Bryan, lead vocalist and guitarist of The Joy Formidable, comments via brooklynvegan why “Sevier” was written: “The river Sevier runs 385 miles through Utah – close to where I live. It’s a metaphor for love & it’s journey. Are you staying in it, following it through all the seasons, cutting through mountains and canyons through all the hardships, or cutting (severing) loose? We loved the idea of water being a main element in the performance video; the churn of the waves against the calm of still water.”
