Featured in the New York Times' "5 Classical Albums You Can Listen To Right Now"

Following 2021's "monumentally joyous" (The New Yorker) Julius Eastman Vol. 1: Femenine, Joy Boy is the second installment in "boisterously theatrical" (The New York Times) Wild Up's proposed seven-album anthology of the work of composer Julius Eastman. Wild Up is a modern music collective – a group of Los Angeles-based musicians committed to creating visceral, thought-provoking happenings. Their programs are eclectic studies of people, places, and ideas that the ensemble finds interesting. The group believes that music is a catalyst for shared experiences, and that the concert venue is a place for challenging, exciting, and igniting the community around us.
