However, since Standing in the Way of Control, the Gossip has moved in an increasingly pop direction, and never more so than on this set of songs. Inspired by ABBA, the band hired Brian Higgins from production team extraordinaire Xenomania to add a slick sheen to the album, which is most evident on "Get Lost," Ditto and crew's most convincing pop bid yet. But A Joyful Noise isn't especially frothy; there's some grit here, especially on "Melody Emergency," where Ditto's still-unmatchable voice dominates the track's slow grind, and fuzzy synths do their best impersonation of power chords. Higgins does his best to balance the band's past and present directions, wrapping "I Won't Play" in synth strings that Gary Numan would be proud to call his own. Despite its dubstep-tinged bass, "Get a Job," a pointed indictment of a poor little rich girl, could have easily appeared on an earlier Gossip album with a more lo-fi approach, and the stand-out "Horns" is an "On the Playground"-style takedown fueled by menacing strings and wah-wah riffs. Sometimes this balance doesn't always work -- the guitars on "Casualties of War" are engulfed by synths and drum machines -- but more often than not it does. The minor-key verses and soaring choruses on "Perfect World" and "Move in the Right Direction" recall Goldfrapp's polarizing album Head First; as on Music for Men, Pat Benatar -- another formidable vocalist who moved from rock to more manicured pop -- is also a touchstone here. A Joyful Noise isn't as raw or immediate as any of the Gossip's earlier albums, which makes it a bit of a grower for anyone attached to the band's previous firepower, but even if their liberating rock is really missed, there's nothin' wrong with their pop inclinations. ~ Heather Phares, RoviHide synopsis

A blend of soul, gospel, rock, funk, disco, punk, passion and rebellion, Gossip is comprised of vocalist Beth Ditto, guitarist Nathan Howdeshell, and drummer Hannah Blilie. Originally formed in Olympia, Washington in 1999, Gossip first garnered attention in the UK with the release of their 2006 breakthrough album Standing In the Way of Control, and they have been in the spotlight ever since. Their most recent album, 2009's Music For Men, sold over 1 million copies globally and was raved about on both sides of the Atlantic, with Clash declaring it "the most euphoric thing you'll hear this year." Recorded in both Xenomania, Higgins' studio in England, and KBC Studios in Portland, Oregon, A Joyful Noise stays true to Gossip's trademark brash and unapologetic nature-that is, as true as possible for a band that is constantly reinventing itself and pushing boundaries. Working with Higgins, Gossip sought to create their own brand of pop. Dittoproclaimed, "I spent the whole year listening to ABBA and not listening to the radio, " accounting for the pulsing energy of A Joyful Noise. The album's infectious tracks will certainly be welcomed by fans who are already entranced by Gossip's insanely danceable beats, and will no doubt lure in many more. Since their previous studio effort, Gossip have toured extensively, covering the major music festival circuits, making appearances at Coachella in the US, Rock am Ring in Germany, and Glastonbury in the UK. Their live shows are touted as one of the best around, with NME dubbing them "The greatest punk rock'n'roll disco soul band on the planet" and insisting "Everyone needs to hear this band and dance like there's no tomorrow."
