Product Information

For fans of Sparklehorse, Pavement, MGMT and Yo La Tengo. Happyness release their self-produced debut album - ›Weird Little Birthday‹. The album follows their critically acclaimed eponymous debut EP released at the beginning of this year.

Drawing comparisons with the great college slacker rock bands, ›Weird Little Birthday‹ puts Happyness at the forefront of, wait for it, ›jangle-gaze‹ while displaying a more complex melancholic and introspective nature. The youthful exuberance is still there, but the album expands on that to deal with the morning after as well as the night before.

Mixed by Adam Lasus (Yo La Tengo, Daniel Johnston) and featuring Ed Harcourt's vocals on ›Pumpkin Noir‹, ›Weird Little Birthday‹ could be this year's underground success.

Rezensionen

»... überwiegt der Eindruck einer engagierten, enthusiastischen Band, die ein für ihr Alter beeindruckendes Gefühl für Klang und Songwriting hat.« (musikexpress, Mai 2015)
