Jasamine White-Gluz from No Joy is here to discuss their latest album Bugland, patios, porches, decks, and why she moved outside of Montreal, her Gord Downie-like penchant for placing the same lyrics in different songs, a shared affection for Canadian music television in the 1990s, representation, laziness, and making an effort to be a decent person to other people, a brief history of No Joy and why she always thinks it’s done after every record, working with Fire-Toolz, tour dates, other future plans, and much more.
