Happyness will take their second album Write In to North America later this year.
There’s gigs in March sparked by a trip to South By Southwest before the longer visit commences in May. “I’d like to think this record looks outside the little American alt-rock sphere we were looking in on,” Jon EE Allan has said of the album, referencing its recording which was completed and mixed with Adam Lasus at his Los Angeles home studio.
It follows 2014’s Weird Little Birthday on April 7th.
