Their first full-length album, "How Do You Feel Now?", was released on April 21, 2015.
The band released its first single "Golden State" on January 4th, 2011 via its website (joywavemusic.com), and followed up with their "77777" mixtape in March 2011. The mixtape is a complex arrangement of original works, covers, and sample based songs featuring various stems combined with Daniel Armbruster's vocals.
In August 2011, Joywave released a limited edition 7" vinyl through blog-turned label Tympanogram, featuring "Traveling At The Speed Of Light" from their "77777" mixtape alongside new single, "Ridge".
Joywave released "Koda Vista" EP on March 27th, 2012. The 7 song release deals with the influence of environmental factors on personal experience, painting a picture of predestination born long before each of the band members.

They are also known for their cooperation with Big Data ("Dangerous", 2013).

Joywave Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You come from a distant land
We′re not like you
You'd never understand
Yeah, I′m in town
For the day again
You tell me how
Yeah, I'm in town
But my head is not
I'm counting down to blastoff
Down to blastoff
Down to blastoff
Down to blastoff
Flying on
Curses the cause of trend
We don′t concern ourselves
With offensive mortal men
But I′m in town
For just the night
You tell me how
Your children fight
Yeah, I'm in town
But my head is not
I′m counting down to blastoff
Down to blastoff
Down to blastoff
Down to blastoff
Think I got somewhere to be
Think I got somewhere to be
Think I got somewhere to be
Yeah, I'm in town
For the day again
You tell me how
Your spouse has been
Yeah, I′m in town
But my head is not
I'm counting down to blastoff
Down to blastoff
Down to blastoff
Down to blastoff
I′m in town
For an hour now
Can you meet

The lyrics in Joywave's song "Blastoffff" paint a picture of being an outsider among strangers, feeling disconnected and ready to leave. The verses contrast the singer's perspective with that of others around them. The first verse sets the scene with the singer acknowledging that they come from a distant land, and the people around them wouldn't understand their perspective. The second verse speaks to the singer's desire to escape, saying that "we don't concern ourselves with offensive mortal men," suggesting that the singer sees those around them as mundane and uninteresting.
The chorus is where the energy and emotion of the song come in, with the repeated refrain of "counting down to blastoff." This repetition emphasizes the singer's sense of urgency to leave, as if they are in a rocket ship ready to take off. The final verse of the song hints at the singer's desire for deeper conversations and connections, as they ask to meet to discuss "parallel space and time." This suggests that the singer doesn't necessarily want to disconnect entirely, but they are ready to move on from their current situation.
Overall, "Blastoffff" is a song that perfectly captures the feeling of being disconnected and ready to leave, juxtaposed with the desire for deeper connections and conversations.

Far beyond
You come from a distant land
We’re not like you
You’d never understand
But I’m in town
For the day again
You tell me how
Your spouse has been
Yeah I’m in town
But my head is not
I’m counting down to blastoff
Down to blastoff
Down to blastoff
Down to blastoff
Riding on
Coarse and recalcitrant
We don’t concern ourselves
With affairs of mortal men
But I’m in town
For just the night
You tell me how
Your children fight
Yeah I’m in town
But my head is not
I’m counting down to blastoff
Down to blastoff
Down to blastoff
Down to blastoff
Think I got somewhere to be
Think I got somewhere to be
Think I got somewhere to be

Your spouse has been
Yeah I’m in town

(I got to ask dan about about the second line of the second verse. It's officially coarse and recalcitrant.)

This song is amazing and as good as it is, it was in the trailer for the 5th season of Fortnite. This area of the game is when I played it the most and had the most memories
