Shoegaze band No Joy started out as a duo between fellow guitarist/songwriters Jasamine White-Gluz and Laura Lloyd, but then gradually became a solo project of the former artist. Their earlier work in the '10s was heavily influenced by bands like My Bloody Valentine, with their heavy use of distortion, fuzz-laden sonic layers, aggressive beats, and blurry vocals, with occasional forays into dream pop. Gradually, White-Gluz began to experiment with genre crossing, first with new wave (Creep, 2017) then with electronic music (No Joy/Sonic Boom, 2018). This trend became more pronounced on 2020's Motherhood, where she brought in elements from metal, jangle pop, synth pop, and Britpop. Her follow up EP, Can My Daughter See Me From Heaven (2021) takes a few of her songs in Motherhood and gives them a calmer, orchestral interpretation that strips out the shoegaze component.
