D+

The Welsh rock band is as spirited as ever, but Into The Blue doubles as the sound of a band dealing with a midlife crisis

8 / 10

The Joy Formidable remain blistering while getting meditative on Into The Blue

It largely finds itself coasting on one level.

It's hard to think of another indie rock band that's as consistently compelling as the Joy Formidable.

7.5 / 10

The Welsh trio of Rhiannon (Ritzy) Bryan, Rhydian Dafydd, and Matt Thomas have been making shoegazey soundscapes with post-punk riffage as The Joy Formidable since their debut album dropped in 2011.
