Joy of Nothing is the second studio album by Northern Irish singer-songwriter Foy Vance. It was released on 26 August 2013.
The album was inspired by Vance's relocation to the Scottish highlands.
AllMusic wrote that the album is "not afraid of making a grandiose statement, both musically and lyrically." No Depression wrote: "Even if there aren’t a lot of fireworks going off on this one, Vance’s mellifluous brogue and poet’s soul are more than enough to get you started on a Foy diet you’ll never want to come off of."
All tracks are written by Foy Vance.
