Joya is the name of a 1997 album by musician Will Oldham. This is the first solo release by Will Oldham, as his previous releases had been released either with Palace Brothers or Palace Music (though he was the only constant member in either of these bands). However, Arise Therefore, which was initially a Palace Music release, is now commonly recognized as a Will Oldham release.
It has been described as a collection of "raging sonic sermons of apocalypse, despair, evil, and sex"[1].
