The product of two Brazilian boys and one L.A. girl is Little Joy. Based in L.A., Little Joy is the side project of Strokes‘ drummer Fabrizio Moretti and Los Hermanos singer/guitarist Rodrigo Amarate.

Late last year Little Joy debuted their self-titled album and for the most part the reviews were amicable. Songs like “Unattainable” (see video below) and “The Next Time Around” (see below) offer a sweet tropical sound with lovesick melodies; a perfect company to a glass of wine.
