SAD HAPPY

Sad Happy is Circa Waves exciting follow up to their UK Top 10 album What s It Like Over There. Frontman and lyricist Kieran Shudall describes the idea behind the duality of the Sad Happy album idea: ;We live in a world of two extreme halves. One minute a news story about catastrophe and the end of the world in the same swipe up a monkey riding a bike and another nonsensical funny video. It s this close proximity of immense sadness and unbridled joy I find so jarring bizarre and fascinating. Our brains seesaw through emotions at such a rate that happiness and sadness no longer feel mutually exclusive. This maniacal Sad Happy mind-maze forms the basis and underpinning to this album. Sad Happy was written in my Liverpool home. It s also hugely inspired by my surroundings and the love I have for the city. It runs through thoughts on mortality love and observations of people.;.
