Cult Classics celebrates the collective experiences of Joy Anonymous’ pop-up parties and tours. Reflecting on the album, they said: “Cult Classics is the soundtrack of Joy Anonymous meetings over the past two years. It began in Imogen Heap’s house in Romford… We have tried to capture that in the sound, process, and delivery of this album.”

Currently supporting The Streets on their UK tour, Joy Anonymous is set to continue their global momentum with upcoming dates in Australia, New Zealand, and the United States.
