about

Joy Becker’s debut EP is an honest, reflective and at times painful exploration of vulnerability and strength. Written from a place of compassion, the EP’s narrative has a depth of tone across all four tracks and is musically realised in full colour. The apparent simplicity of Joy’s music is underpinned by a deep understanding of harmony and love of language, which she marries to create this collection of the lyrically-rich ‘word-paintings’ she is most celebrated for.

Joy features on the EP as the songwriter, vocalist, violinist, guitarist and co-producer. She is joined by producer James Kelly, cellist Ben Cashell, violist Laurie Dempsey and percussionist Peter Mitchell. From first queer love to rough-and-ready folk jam to open-hearted expression of grief, From Within has something everyone needs right now.
