The Double Happiness ride through waves of their self-coined "surfgaze" sound - a compelling mix of surf, spaghetti-western, post-punk and shoegaze. The foursome create sonic earworms inspired by Cities, Surf, the Wild West and now, Space.
The band wears an eclectic variety of musical influences on their paisley sleeves. Their songs pay homage to the genres that raised them but maintain a tangible connection to the timeless jangly guitar sounds of their hometown of Brisbane (Meanjin).
SPACETIME, the third long player from the quartet launches the crew into a bold new frontier of sound. Inspired by an eclectic mix of 1960’s tv & films, unusual journeys and quirky encounters, SPACETIME delivers a very familiar sense of nostalgia, combined with new dimensions to song writing and arrangements. Think Nancy & Lee meets the B-52’s on the set of Lost in Space. The Double Happiness’ live show is a joyous fusion of reverberated guitars, rumbling toms and pummelling bass.
Their loyal following in Brisbane music circles has grown since their inception in 2015. They are a 4ZZZ favourite, having placed no less than four times in the Hot 100 since 2019.
SPACETIME will be available on LP, CD and digitally through 4000 Records from September 12.
