Happy Science by James Mason
“A tale of deceit, the deceased, a depleting fleet, it’s all on repeat, story screamed and barked, guitars sharp as glass, bass trudging from the start, the last one at the bar,” is how Happy Science describe their new single.
Happy Science have returned with the video for their new single The Last Goodbye, and you can watch it first right here on Live4ever.
Recorded at Shrunken Head Studios in London where the likes of King Krule and Ghostpoet have spent time in the past, the track’s lolling bassline ensures ears are pricked up before a simple but spiky angular guitar, along with the lead vocal, snaps senses into full attention.
An ode to drinking culture in a specific pub, singer Callum Connaughton sums up the feeling of being on an irregular perfectly: ‘You wanna be a part of it, but you’re apart from it’.
Then the music pauses before one last round of chorus, and then it’s gone. Unlike most of us on a night out Happy Science know when to stop, ensuring we’re left wanting more.
