Pitchfork: 9 New Albums You Should Listen to Now
Honored to have Perspective, newly-released disability interview album on New Amsterdam Records, included in Pitchfork’s “9 New Albums You Should Listen to Now“! Full listing here.
“Molly Joyce’s latest multidisciplinary work, Perspective, was inspired by a question once posed to her by Judith Heumann: The disability activist asked Joyce why she referred to her left hand, which was impaired in a childhood accident, as “weak.” “This question struck me personally and almost politically, as it became clear that I was categorizing my disability within narrow definitions of what weakness can and should be,” Joyce explained. Throughout Perspective, Joyce poses questions about accessibility to 47 interviewees from her disabled community and places the responses atop her voice and vintage toy organ. The work is intended to be heard alongside open-captioned videos in an effort to emphasize multisensory accessibility.”
