Happyness have shared their latest track Through Windows.
It’s due on the band’s second album Write In, which has a release date of April 7th and which ‘looks outside the little American alt-rock sphere we were looking in on’ according Jon EE Allan.
“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.”
