Double Happiness gleans the past with an eye to the future. The 3 members channel their mutual love of 60's pop, 70's folk-rock and 80's indie into finely crafted pop music. The songs are both organic and concise. They represent a sifting through of well loved record collections; refining their essential characteristics to create something both accessible and unique. With firm roots in the ground, the trio are constantly synthesizing new musical elements into their expanding sound.
