Exclusive: U.K. lo-fi rockers Happyness (Happynessmusic) share new single 'Ouch (yup)' from new album 'Floatr':
. The band began as a three-piece of Jonny Allan, Ash Kenazi and Benji Compston back in 2013 and now boasts a core lineup of Allan and Kenazi alongside live members Max Bloom , Anna Vincent and Scott Booker Roach .
Following previous singles “Vegetable” and “Seeing Eye Dog,” “Ouch ” also maintains their lo-fi roots, but it’s not an empty pastiche. It grapples with the personal and political defeatism that’s so easy to slip into these days—wondering how long we can tread water and marveling at how we convince ourselves that things are set in stone when they really aren’t. But it’s not overly bleak, thanks in part to their enlivening guitar passages and Jonny Allan’s trustworthy vocals.
“It’s about processing the stuff you leave behind, and not getting complacent and not assuming anything,” the band says. “We were going through some massive life changes around the time we wrote this song, and Brexit was happening . It’s about disbelief I guess. And the slow excruciating dawning of reality. Reality is a weird rush, the truth sets you free. Those kinds of things.”below, and scroll down to hear their 2015 Daytrotter session.
