The Joy Formidable - Cholla

The Joy Formidable is a Welsh group despite the name that formed in 2007.  This Ladder is Ours is from their second full length studio album titled Wolf's Law (2013).  It's a great album that was just released in January in the US.

Cholla is a cactus.  While I've never heard anyone described as a spiny cactus before, I think the song works well in driving the metaphor home with siphoned smiles and dagger-turned hands.  It is my favorite song on the album - a hard decision when surrounded by so many excellent tunes on this album!!

Please see the video below for music and lyrics.


If you like the song, please support the artists and buy their music!!!
