The Happy End initially released their debut album „Echoes of Jericho“ as a T-Shirt printed with a download-code, which was available at their gigs and on their website thehappyendisnear.com. Now, the album will be launched‚ traditionally‘ on CD by the record label Festplatten, which is marking it‘s own relaunch with this release after a two year hiatus.
With this release Festplatten are broadening their musical scope from their previous exclusive genre of Electro-music releases.
The Happy End combines early 70‘s psychedelia with the non-conformist Punk movement. Brewing up an insane broth of feedback, experimentalelectro and aggressively melancholic vocals. With no breaks, the songs and acoustic-experiments flow into each other, noise and sweet melodies fighting both for survival. To take a breath is to show weakness! And the gigs they have performed to date have left their audience both elated and irritated in equal measures. The album‘s accompanying T-Shirts proclaim „The Happy End is Near“ and suggest you „Destroy your Brilliant Career!“
