Making mellow pop with an earnest spirit and glistening '80s new wave and '90s R&B-influenced production, joan is the duo of Alan Thomas and Steven Rutherford. Their first EP, portra, arrived in 2018, drawing favorable comparisons to the 1975 and LANY. They have continued to evolve, embracing a vibrant blend of classic boy band and contemporary pop sounds, as on 2020's cloudy and 2021's dual hi and bye EPs. They also paired with singer Josie Dunne for the moody 2022 single "POINT" before delivering their first full-length effort, 2023's superglue, which encompassed their prior stylistic inspirations. Thereafter, joan showed an intention to experiment more with production by adding things like looped beats, classic-rock guitar solos, and warped keys to singles like 2024's "heartbodymindsoul" and 2025's "face," while retaining their smooth sound.
