Happy New Year Self-Titled Debut Streaming At Spinner
New Video For "Twins" Available
NYC Record Release Show Announced
Happy New Year's self-titled debut is out today via Brooklyn's Crikey! Records and AOL Spinner is streaming the album in its entirety. Happy New Year has also released an MP3 of "Summer" along with a video for "Twins."
Shot at Muchmore's in Brooklyn, the video features cinematography along
with projections by Vladimir Hermand and Annick Rosenfield.
Antipodean
artist Eleanor Logan cut her teeth on Australian underground punk and
garage before relocating to the Brooklyn noise scene, where as Happy
New Year she delivers pop expressions of the heart via kaleidescopic
self-production and varied multi-instrumentation. A forerunner of
post-geographical psychedelic pop, Logan drags chimes, bells, vintage
synths and breathy vocals through darkly cinematic territories.
Inspired by a winter tour to Tokyo where Logan performed in a temple to
monks, Happy New Year's debut self-titled full length washes wide-eyed
wonderment with otherworldly percussion, cocktail soloing and an
unresolved fog of memories that may not have happened. Seattle's The
Stranger said, "the songs blend D.I.Y. recordings ofpercussion, drones
and tech sounds with a silky voice to create pop music that's equally
experimental and addictive" while The Westword stated Happy New Year is
a standout for "being both startlingly good and very different from
anything else."
After
appearing on limited color vinyl on French boutique weirdo electronic
label SVN SNS RCRDS, and coined 'le plus bel album de ce début d'année'
('the most beautiful album of the start of the year') by Europe's
Hartzine, the debut Happy New Year LP will now receive an American
release in the form of a limited color 12-inch on Crikey! Records.
Upcoming Shows:
August 24 - New York, NY @ Museum of Art And Design
August 26 - Brooklyn, NY @ Death By Audio
September 5 - Brooklyn, NY @ Big Snow (HAPPY NEW YEAR LP release party)
