After a whirlwind 2014, which ultimately saw the South London trio 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 can finally announce 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 23rd 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 favourite 'A Whole New Shape' is also set to surface as a single in March. But today we have their very special cover of Norah Jones – Don't Know Why.
And if that isn't enough, Happyness have announced their appearance at SXSW 2015 and a debut coast to coast US tour.
