| |
| The first German act on MatinΘe, The Happy Couple live in Hamburg and |
| also run the excellent FΘlicitΘ Singles Club record label. A follow-up |
| to their sold out debut single, the 'Fools in Love' EP is an instant |
| classic incorporating all the right influences but with a thoroughly |
| modern sound. Lead track 'Another Sunny Day' is an immediate pop hit |
| sounding nothing like the band of the same name but perhaps a little bit |
| like Sarah labelmates Even As We Speak. 'Hopeless Case' and 'The Pop |
| Kid' turn up the guitars a notch for two potential indie club hits that |
| could double as long lost Shop Assistants gems, while 'Don't Call It' is |
| a hypnotic song that recalls classic recordings from Marine Girls or |
| Revolving Paint Dream. The single was masterfully produced by Ulric |
| Kennedy (The Golden Dawn, The Catalysts, The Void, The Mixers) and |
| Dannie Vallely (The Void, The Catalysts) who helped provide a bright |
| glossy finish to the four songs. Fans of the abovementioned bands or |
| current indie stars Pipas, Tender Trap or Club 8 take notice! Limited to |
| 1000 copies in custom minijacket sleeve. |
