HALF HAPPY
2023 might be only a few months old, but Cardiff outfit Half Happy are proving themselves to be one of our favourite new bands. Their new single ‘Runaway Girl’ shows another side to their songwriting. Yes the swooning, longing and jangling guitars are there, but the lyrical brevity, vocal switch ups and wistful chorus are another step up in their songwriting, and that’s saying something since we loved their first two tracks. A wonderful ode to escaping painful situations; the fluttery harmonies, sepia lined guitars and insistent drums, give way to Rose’s wonderful sighing vocals. Guitars coo and baselines bounce like heartbeats as she tries to find tiny moments of joy in the midst of sad situations. Her spoken word switch reminds me of Wolf Alice as she tries to break bad habits.
