Happiness in Magazines

Graham Coxon

High-energy garage rock meets polished pop production. A jittery, melodic collection of guitar anthems that balances cynical wit with genuine vulnerability.

It's like the best parts of 90s Blur but with more distortion and way more honesty.

A high-strung mix of celebratory garage rock energy and quiet, suburban melancholy.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The explosive, feedback-drenched opening riff of Freakin' Out that immediately sets a high-octane garage punk tone.
The shift from the cynical, driving energy of the main tracks to the haunting, acoustic vulnerability of Ribbons and Leaves.
The way the backing vocals swell during the chorus of Bittersweet Bundle of Misery, adding a layer of classic pop sunshine to the gloom.
