HAPPY LP

by UV-TV

garbagefixation Falling Down puts me in a trance. I was sold by the first song... and then this one comes on at the end. It's wonderful. Favorite track: Falling Down.

Dom Alhambra Some soaring tracks like Inside Out and Happy, overall a really catchy rock album. Vocals are singable and the drums drive a lot of the energy. Favorite track: Inside Out.

Jesse Mullen What an awesome record. Unlike the Boston DIY bands, these guys can actually play and sing in tune, while maintaining the excitement of punk and noisepop with a melodic edge. One of the best of 2019

about

For Ian Bernacett and Rose Vastola, the masterminds behind UV-TV, 2018 was spent writing and recording the 9-track LP while simultaneously uprooting from Gainesville and migrating north to NYC, where the album was finally mixed and mastered.

HAPPY unabashedly explores the tropes of letting go of the past with a amicable catharsis that proves they can evolve their sound without losing their edge. Despite the name, the overall tone of the record comes across as a moodier interpretation of their almost jovial punk attitude—with the title track exemplifying that HAPPY is a much more personal and thoughtful album from the band. Right out of the gate, the production is cleaner and more buttoned up, perhaps signifying that this record is more serious in nature. While Ryan Hopewell’s charged drumming kicks off the first track, Hide, giving us the UVTV energy we’re familiar with from previous records, stylistic nuances quickly prove that the band has been drawing on some deeper influences, including The Pastels, Echo and the Bunnymen, and Slowdive among others. As the arc of the album brings us to a more vulnerable place like on the track, World, it becomes obvious there’s a new kind of sincerity in their choices compared to the last two releases. By the final track, Falling Down, the entirety of the album has conceptualized the personal and musical growth of UVTV since we last heard them in 2017.
