Floatr

Description

Happyness third LP comes after a hiatus of almost three years for the band. Core members Jonny Allan and Ash Kenazi describe the record as both a break-up and a coming out album, it having been spawned from a period of turmoil and the subsequent major shifts in the lives and outlooks of the band; most visibly, drummer Ash Coopers emergence from a supporting role into a fearless drag queen to co-front the project with singer Allan. Floatr sits in tone somewhere between the ragged euphoria of Weird Little Birthday and the lush balladry of Write In, and with a fresh injection of characteristically mad, artfully self-aware lyrical turns (first single Vegetable references Chumbawumba, drag queen Jujubee, vaping and Scientologys E-meter auditing process all in the space of less than 4 minutes) it seems the band may be entering their most thrilling era yet. Happyness, to the runway.
