With 700.000 fans on Facebook and three no. 1 albums as of 2014, Happysad are one of the most popular bands in Poland, and one of my favourites as well. In the Noughties they released four albums that demonstrated their huge melodic talent, notwithstanding a quite mediocre indie-rock sound.
Anyway, in 2012 "Ciepło / Zimno" showed a strong evolution, as it incorporated emo-rock influences, electronic sounds, and experimental noises. "Jakby nie było Jutra" is their new studio effort and it keeps its promises, adding some space rock tendencies, to give their formula a new level of epicness.
"Smutnie ludzie" is probably their best single ever, but every note on the album is well organized (i.e. the brasses on "Są momenty takie" and the folktronic arrangement of "Ciała detale").
Hi Soviet Sam! I downloaded quite a few albums from your blog, so I think it's about time I pop by to thank you. Jakby nie było jutra is only the last album I discovered here that I loved, but there were so many before. It really is a great job you're doing, selecting great music that's out of the common radar and making it available for everybody to discover: a heartfelt thank you for this.
