Blinkhorn blurs the line between dance and ambient styles of electronic music with his third album, Joy Mechanics. Effected drum machine sounds join meticulously designed synthesizer patches in Joy Mechanics, an album in which Blinkhorn finds his rhythm. Over about 31 minutes, Blinkhorn uses the arc of Joy Mechanics to tell a uniquely modern story that listeners may find relatable and perhaps inspiring. In a world full of distractions, Joy Mechanics is Blinkhorn's appeal for you to focus on what matters most to you and how doing that can help you live a joyful life.

Joy Mechanics is a sonic picture of a digital world in which our minds are prisoners inside the machine. We can use moments in which we are deliberately engaged in activities that bring us happiness and purpose as a path to escape from the machine. These intentional moments are our joy mechanics.
