Former Moon Honey member Jess Joy will unveil their debut solo album this spring.

Announced today, Patreearchy will be released on April 16 via Joyful Noise Recordings. The first single from the album titled “Bless Your Name” is out right now. The track’s accompanying music video, which was directed by the artist, can be seen below. When it comes to the visual, Joy said:

““bless your name" is a self-directed mime piece. I wanted to make a video that depicted the roots of my shame, tracing back to Christian teachings of my childhood. I grew up on stories of “the original sin" (Eve as the original sinner, eating the fruit from the tree of good & evil), the forgiveness of sin (Jesus dying on the cross), & the self-fulfilling punishments of being bad (Eve discovering her nakedness & being kicked out of the garden, Judas hanging himself for having handed Jesus over for 30 silver coins).
In these seemingly harmless stories, I internalized that women should be ashamed of their bodies, desires & decisions. I exalted the martyrdom of Jesus Christ, someone who would take on the sins of the whole world & free us from our shame. In the video, I treat my guitar as my cross to show my attempt to sublimate sin through the emotional labor of music.”

Pre-orders for Patreearchy can be made here. The album was produced by Deerhoof member Greg Saunier.
