RELEASE DATE

2022 restock on purple vinyl. The first record in the Daydream Library series is London's black feminist punk band
Big Joanie
's debut album
Sistahs
. Big Joanie are
Stephanie Phillips
(singer/guitarist),
Estella Adeyeri
(bass) and
Chardine Taylor-Stone
(drums). The band formed in 2013 and released their first EP,
Sistah Punk
in 2014 and the single
Crooked Room
in 2016. As part of London's thriving DIY punk scene Big Joanie have played with locals
Shopping
, toured with US punks
Downtown Boys
, and Dutch punk band
The Ex
. Inspired by
The Ronettes
,
Nirvana
,
Breeders
, and
Jesus and Mary Chain
,
Big Joanie
have described themselves as being "similar to The Ronettes filtered through '80s DIY and Riot Grrrl with a sprinkling of dashikis." Big Joanie recorded
Sistahs
at Hermitage Works Studio with producer
Margo Broom
. The album title derives from the band's belief in sisterhood and female friendship. One of the main reasons for coming together was to create an atmosphere to be "completely ourselves as black women and discover what was possible to realize in those spaces." The album cover features Steph's mum
Joan
, whom the band is named after, and her aunt on holiday in Wales. The Daydream Library Series of records and tapes is the independent house label of
Thurston Moore
(
Sonic Youth
) and
Eva Prinz
's publishing imprint Ecstatic Peace Library. The Daydream Series was established in 2018 to provide a label for emerging musicians, both local and international. In this series curated by Prinz, Moore, and
Abby Banks
, a limited edition number of vinyl or cassette albums will be released in a pristine "collector's edition" package with the highest quality recordings, impeccable design and handmade fanzines with the album's liner notes and interviews with the bands.
Sistahs
is an optimistic album about friendship, melancholic memories, and the belief in a modern future. Eva and Thurston discovered Big Joanie playing live supporting The Ex in Islington (London) earlier this spring and ran to the merch table to discover the band didn't have a record with all the songs that had just mesmerized the audience.
