Molly Joyce — the acclaimed composer and performer navigating the perceived limits of disability throughout her work — shares her new album State Change on July 11 via  Better Company Records in North America and FatCat Records’ 130701 imprint ROW.

Blending influences ranging from the 20th century modernist, minimalist lineage of Philip Glass or Steve Reich, to the spectral drones of Andy Stott, Missy Mazzoli, and Nico Muhly, State Change draws unflinchingly from the medical record of a childhood trauma for seven electro-acoustic tone poems — stark and oppressive in its medical aesthetic, yet ultimately cathartic and healing. Joyce crafted the album with Grammy-winning producer William Brittelle (Justin Vernon, Druan Duran, Dirty Projectors, Oneohtrix Point Never, Wye Oakl).

Outside of her standalone work, Molly Joyce recently scored the original soundtrack for Patrice: The Movie, a documentary rom-com directed by Ted Passon, which premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival last year. She’s adept and translating her music to the performance space, as seen last year in her collaboration with Jerron Herman, which focused on embodying disability and in essence extricating one’s self from its perceived constraints.
