Sacramento, California, United States (2005 – present)
The Fleeting Joys are a shoegaze band from Sacramento, California, United States formed in 2005. Their sound is influenced heavily by classic shoegazers My Bloody Valentine, to whom they are often compared. Their sound incorporates complex layers of feedback and sound and an often subdued combination of male and female vocals.
Their debut album Despondent Transponder was released in 2006. The duo are : John Loring (vintage surf guitars) and Rorika Loring (sturdy basses and electronics). Both of them sing vocals and use various guest drummers.

I never thought a modern States-side band could pull off sounding like a band from Oxford in 1992. Top class.

What can possibly make lifes moments that much more precious than its Fleeting Joys. Sooo glad I found you on itunes a while ago, (something kept drawing me near for a listen) kept pulling me back; so ::happy:: I listened to my intuitions. I should start my own psychic hotline because I hit sonic gold. They say like attracts like and it cannot get any more closer to the truth. This band is epic and you have not lived until you have seen them live. Fleeting Joys are the best!!! Despondent Transponder is something incredibly special but Occult Radiance sealed the deal for me and 1 wonders why do the critics compare Fleeting Joys to MBV? nonsense.(They don't sound alike) Fleeting Joys are pioneers of their own sound as were Medicine, Slowdive, MBV, etc. (in their time) MBV vs Fleeting Joys? who's better?... Fleeting Joys. nuff" said. *yes, I know I am crazy for saying that but I wouldn't want it any other way. ;)

I really do love them, even though yeah, they completely take MBV's page in the book. They do a damn good job of it though.
