Happyness have set a brand new EP entitled ‘Tunnel Vision On Your Part‘ for release on September 23rd.
It includes the recent single ‘SB’s Truck‘ and is opened by ‘Anna, Lisa Calls‘ of which the band say: “This is our first phone call song and our 5th song in E major.”
“We wrote it one day in the studio in June and recorded it straight away – I think we were going for a kind of Traveling Wilburys thing. Also we felt like we hadn’t put a synth in a song for a while, so there’s a synth.”
Two EP launch shows have been arranged, one at London’s Vauxhall City Farm – a favourite location of the band and a chance to preview their next studio album. “Vauxhall City Farm is one of our favourite spots in London and just up the road from where we wrote most of ‘Weird Little Birthday’,” the band adds.
“As part of the release of our new EP, ‘Tunnel Vision On Your Part’, we’re adopting the farm for the evening of October 8th for a stripped back show – playing songs from the EP, and some from our upcoming second album.”
