Words by: Amanda Marano
Emo/pop-rock band, Happy., have excitedly premiered their latest single and lyric video for “Liarliar”. The video is set up like a therapy session as the lyrics flow across the screen. With a 90s punk vibe, the electric, heart-thumping track holds an even deeper meaning with emotional lyrics like “When will I accept that the sickness in me is treatable? / All I have to do is put in the work and take the pills / Sounds so easy but I’m tired.” The track comes off their new record, Imposter Syndrome.
“Each song on our new record is a reflection of our experience with it as musicians over the last few years,” explains vocalist/guitarist, Tate Logan. “This includes some of the greatest moments of our entire lives, while others reflect struggle and extreme lows. ‘Liarliar’ is the most honest and straightforward depiction of my experience with depression. We chose to express this visually by breaking the fourth wall between us and our fans. This video is a representation of a therapy session, something I was once extremely familiar with that ultimately saved my life.”
“Liarliar” is the third single from the band’s forthcoming new album, Imposter Syndrome, following “A Cure for Wellness” and “Sick is the New Sane.” The album is due out on October 30 via Rude Records. The project, produced by Marc McClusky [Weezer, Motion City Soundtrack, The Front Bottoms], is a narrative on the band’s personal experience with the effects of Imposter Syndrome. They explain, “From the lows of depression, anxiety, and addiction, to the highs of traveling, making friends and living the dream, this record is our everlasting chase for ‘success.’”
Happy. began playing together in Columbia, SC back in 2016. Their style combines elements of pop-punk, rock, and emotive music for melodic and catchy tracks. They have a sound that’s both fresh and nostalgic at the same time. After putting out their 4-song EP, The Endless Bummer, and they went to work, further exploring their sound to develop their style. They wanted to create music that radiated positivity, personal growth, and self-defined happiness.
