The record is set for release in July 2026 and offers a sequence of songs ranging from gentle ballads to subtly psychedelic-tinged rock tracks. Any Joy? is a duo consisting of Liverpool singer-songwriter Ali Horn and Japanese multi-instrumentalist Ikko Shibayama; the two share songwriting and production duties, with Shibayama credited for arrangements and recording. Musically, the project weaves together elements of city pop, traditional British rock craftsmanship, folk, and Western-influenced psychedelia, creating a melodic yet uncluttered sonic space. Horns voice and the chamber-like arrangements define the projects style. The album was created together with musicians from the pairs extended circle, recorded partly in Japan and partly in the UK; advance releases such as the single What Could I Do? have already received radio attention and helped shape the projects reception. The LP places a strong emphasis on song structure and harmonic nuance and is aimed at listeners who appreciate a blend of catchy melodies and lovingly crafted arrangements.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jacaranda Records","offers":[{"title":"Black LP","offer_id":56400274784635,"sku":"JAR-08812","price":19.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0592\/1416\/8247\/files\/CS1157259-01A-BIG.jpg?v=1788257936","url":"https:\/\/store.jacarandarecords.com\/products\/any-joy-sweet-nothings","provider":"Jacaranda Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
