Later that year, they released two singles, "Ridge" and "Traveling at the Speed of Light", the latter of which appeared on 77777.

The band released their fourth studio album, Cleanse, on 11 February 2022, and subsequently went on tour in Europe and America.

Out of the singles released, the highest performing was “Every Window is a Mirror”, which hit 32 on the US Alt charts in 2021.

Since the release of Cleanse, Joywave have since collaborated on a studio album from artist duo Best Frenz, consisting of Daniel Armbruster and Jason Suwito.

The album was named The Mall and focused heavily on themes of escapism and youthful memories.
