Moretti\'s side project Little Joy\'s debut album is due out early November via Rough Trade. The album was produced by Noah Georgeson (Devendra Banhart) and features 11 tracks
The band also includes Fabrizio Moretti\'s girlfriend, Binki Shapiro and Brazilian singer-guitarist Rodrigo Amarante, formerly of Los Hermanos.
The trio came together after being introduced by mutual friends, and ended up moving into a house together in the Echo Park neighbourhood of Los Angeles. They named their band after the famous dive bar Little Joy down the road from their house.
