Jasamine White-Gluz has reunited with Angel Marcloid of Fire-Toolz for a new No Joy project. The duo announced the Big Life, Big Leaf EP, which serves as a companion piece to last year's Bugland album. White-Gluz shared the title track from the forthcoming release.
The collaboration marks a return to the partnership that produced Bugland, the previous full-length that established the sonic direction No Joy has been pursuing. By positioning Big Life, Big Leaf as a companion work rather than a standalone statement, White-Gluz and Marcloid suggest thematic or sonic continuity between the two releases, allowing listeners to experience them as interconnected bodies of work.
No Joy has long occupied a distinctive space in experimental electronic music, blending ethereal vocals with textured, often abrasive production. Marcloid's contributions as Fire-Toolz have brought a complementary aesthetic to the project, one rooted in glitch and digital manipulation. The title track reveals the pair's willingness to expand their palette while maintaining the atmospheric depth that characterizes their work together.
The announcement arrives as independent electronic artists continue to release companion EPs and linked projects, a strategy that deepens fan engagement and allows creators to explore variations on established themes without committing to full-length albums. For White-Gluz and Marcloid, the approach offers a way to maintain creative momentum following Bugland's release while testing new ideas within a more compact format.
