HAPPYNESS BIGGER GLASS LESS FULL

Fresh off the back of their performances at SXSW, London's very own slacker-pop 3-piece Happyness drop the latest single from their upcoming new album Write In, arriving next month on Moshi Moshi Records. Discussing the track the band say: “Bigger Glass started with an oblique strategy that we learnt from Terry Gilliam: apparently he made ‘Brazil’ without ever reading 1984. We were trying to sound like a Pierre Cavalli song we’d heard once a very long time ago. It couldn’t sound less similar if we’d tried… We added the acoustics when we were in LA mixing with Adam Lasus - as of now the only thing we’ve ever recorded outside the UK."  Despite failing their own intentions, Happyness have created a perfectly-formed scuzzed-out pop tune to be proud of. The band embark on their biggest UK headline tour to date throughout April. -HLMX
