The Happys are back with their brand of wibbly wobbly timey wimey indie pop and it’s a corker! The roar of distorted guitar in the intro made made me think they’d gone heavy metal, but no, they hadn’t it was just them catching us off guard as usual. The chugging riffs are tasty, but what …
When I first heard this, I could hear influences of the Rolling Stones in the intro, especially in the guitar tone, and then it gave away into a bit of an blues rock anthem vibe… The melody is infectious, as evidenced in the verse, two chords on each line swapping back and forth between F …

Wow… this is a TUNE! The soulful vocals mixed with a hip hip beat and strings is what sold it to me. Toby flies in with a vocal that’s lazy and sings with a drawl that’s not unpleasant to listen to, there’s a cello accompanying him and it’s brilliant! It’s the chorus that hits me …
This track really got me going! Very retro in the chord progression, I get the feeling that might be a Yamaha CP-70 piano sample, or close enough! It reminds me very much of Toto/Genesis/Phil Collins in that sound…. The lyrics are out of this world. No pun intended. “You make me wanna build a …
What I like about this is the way it opens…. The drums on this is incredible! It starts off with a stop and start sequence from 0:00-0:21 where it settles into a groove that comes and goes through out the song, the subby 808 bass slides in and we are off to the races! What …
