Are You Happy? is the second release from M Y L K, another collective of musicians from different genres merging their talents to bring us something different than we’d expect from them. Featuring members of Beauty Sleep, BeeMickSee and Empty Lungs, the resulting output is undoubtedly in pop punk territory.
‘Are You Happy’ deviates slightly from the scuzzy lo-fi territory of their first release (‘At A Loss’), by promiently featuring Cheylene’s vocals and adding a catchy chorus. Genre-wise, we are probably looking at jangly, pop punk that could be caught somewhere between American outfits Best Coast and Pity Sex. It will certainly be interesting to see whether their next release deviates again but for now we’re just enjoying some great new music.
