Mt. Joy detail their fourth album, Hope We Have Fun

26 February 2025, 10:38 | Written by Tyler Damara Kelly

Philadelphia and Los Angeles-based indie-rock band Mt. Joy have announced the release of their forthcoming album, Hope We Have Fun, alongside the single, “More More More”.

“More More More” deals with the dichotomy of road life and the stillness of coming home - A theme consistent throughout the album being how depression can creep in when one slows down.

This single joins two other previously released songs, “Highway Queen” (also out now as a duet with Grammy-winner Maren Morris) where vocalist Matt Quinn ruminates on falling for a twin flame who lives for the escapism of transient life, and “She Wants to Go Dancing” written for a lover who brings you out of your shell at the club.

For Quinn, the record speaks directly to the band’s long journey together — "We've all worked incredibly hard together and done ridiculous things in sickness and in health. You just kind of look up and you're at Madison Square Garden with these people, and it makes you emotional — it feels like something you never could have dreamed. The album is a realisation that we pushed ourselves into this crazy world, sometimes for better and sometimes for worse. It’s a lot about sticking together in relationships, living a crazy lifestyle and just kinda saying, ‘I hope we have fun.'"
