After a whirlwind 2014, which ultimately saw South London trio Happyness hit CMJ (making NPR and Bob Boilens top picks), make NME’s Best Newcomers list, as well as The Sunday Times Best Albums of The Year, Happyness have just announced that they have signed to Bar None Records for USA and Moshi Moshi Records for UK/RoW (alongside Magniph Records in Japan).
Those eager for new material need only wait for March 23 when debut album Weird Little Birthday gets the Enhanced Version 2.0 CD treatment, as well as a long awaited vinyl release in the USA – both via Bar/None Records. Live favorite ‘A Whole New Shape’ is also set to surface as a single in March.
