Fellow musical mavericks Sarah Corina and Johnny Dowd have teamed yp again for a slice of danceable spoke word. On Happiness Dowd tells a sad tale about a guy named Slim his dreams, dressing like a biker, as a means to get the attention of a lady. Spoiler: the lady does not actually exist, but is part of his psyche. Corina provides a pulsating backing track - she played bass played bass in The Bomb Party, The Mekons, Die Cheerleader, and Striplight - and post-punk flourishe, creating an updated '80s New Wave vibe.
Happiness is a self-released single. Buy it from her website.
