Let's Buy Happiness are a five-piece from the North of England (Newcastle) who only recently reached my radar with their single 'Run' which immediately found me making strong comparisons between their haunting, melancholic, dreamy sound and that of two of my favourite English alternative/indie acts; Bat for Lashes and The XX. Excitingly, the quintet recently announced that their long awaited debut album will go by the name of 'Chants For Friends' and that 'Run' will be the first single released from it on 4th November.
If the quality of 'Run' is anything to go by, we can't wait to get our hands on this record, and lead vocalist Sarah Hall has shared her thoughts on the album; “It’s taken four years to form our music in the way we wanted it to... Its inspirations vary from track to track as my thoughts & opinions have drifted over time, and together it works a collection of moments about a range of topics, from atoms to building a home. Single ‘Run’ was about that person you may know, friend or family, who has an inability to face up to truths and their destructive behaviours. I’ve seen this happen in my life & other peoples relationships but it isn’t about a specific person."
