Label Day: Joyful Noise Recordings

From their website: "Joyful Noise is an Indianapolis, IN based record label specializing in a variety of ridiculous music. "Experimental indie rock" is often thrown around. We prefer to think of it as "symphonic noise-pop" or "schizophrenic-math-dance". We strive to release music that is lies somewhere between pop and noise, by bands who are artistically honest, exploratory, and often haphazard. JNR is not a traditional noise label, nor are we interested in traditional indie rock. We do however love when these two sides of the spectrum intersect in interesting ways."


Well, the  first "schizophrenic-math-dance"  song is Serpent Wings, by Memory Map.


No matter how good the song is (which is very good), the video is transfixing. Really, really good. I love the bit at 1:55 when the cat saves the day (I'm sure that sounded really dorky. But watch the video, for gods sake.) Jookabox, You Cried Me 


Less indie; more noise. And some scarily agile bass work. Push-Pull, Brain Fever
