According to Rolling Stone, Moretti ‘s project is called Little Joy and features his current girlfriend, Binki Shapiro, and their friend Rodrigo Amarante, formerly of Brazilian indie-rock group Los Hermanos. 
The currently untitled album will be released this fall through Rough Trade sounds like “Antonio Carlos Jobim, Vince Guaraldi and Sixties wall-of-sound girl groups”.
