The Joy Formidable have come a long way. Ten years on from their debut album, ‘A Balloon Called Moaning’, the Welsh three-piece have racked up quite a loyal following over the years, including none other than Dave Grohl. To celebrate the anniversary, the Joy Formidable has released two new acoustic versions one of their most popular songs, one in English, and one in Welsh. Stream “Whirring”/”Chwyrlio” below.

On the new release, Ritzy explains; “We’ve been through such a lot as a band over the years, it’s been a really reflective studio session, returning to the old recordings and transforming them into these beautiful stripped back, intimate versions. It’s exciting hearing them in the Welsh language because now they have new life too and can be a celebration of language as well as memory.”

The band has also announced an anniversary tour for ten years of ‘A Balloon Called Moaning’, dubbed “The Ten Years Floating Tour”. They will also be heading out this fall on the recently-announced co-headline acoustic shows with Devotchka. Here are those dates, and you can put in your ticket requests here.
