Happyness Announce New Album 'Write In' And Spring UK And Ireland Tour
Tuesday, 10 January 2017
Written by Laura Johnson
Happyness will release their sophomore album this spring.
'Write In', the follow up to 2014's 'Weird Little Birthday', is due out April 7 via Moshi Moshi. Discussing it, singer/guitarist Jon EE Allan said:
“I’d like to think this record looks outside the little American alt-rock sphere we were looking in on. I think we used to be very afraid of being earnest. And now we’re able to be tender or heartfelt without feeling too guilty about it. This record cost us about £500 to make, and that was mainly spent on an 8 track tape recorder and a dehumidifier. We self-produced it in our studio [Jelly Boy Studios- where the band recorded their debut, 'Weird Little Birthday']. The building's being redeveloped at the end of the year, so this is the last record we'll make there, which feels like the end of a chapter for us.”
