The Happy Somethings: A Healthy Dose Of Hope

English twee trio The Happy Somethings set out to record a wealth of optimistic songs for their new album A Healthy Dose Of Hope. Not the naive kind, mind, or the even worse cheesy ones. So the prospect o becoming a mother soon also comes with the realisation that a drink will come in handy to keep a modicum of sanity in the middle of sleep depravity (You'll Grow Up Quick) or settling for hanging out with a friend when the love or your life has not shown up yet (Just Being With You).

With wit and sarcasm playing catch, A Healthy Dose Of Hope is a reality check that will put a smile on the listener's face. It will take off one's mind from the troubled times, replacing big worries with a peak into the band's domestic ones. They make it sound so easy, but most musicians will come up short try writing ace lo-fi songs with earworm potential. Plus they are awfully prolific too, which is a bit unfair for all those struggling artists whose wells have ran dry.

A Healthy Dose Of Hope is a self-released album. Buy it from their website.
