The ironic title gives no clue to the overwhelmingly melancholic tone of this disc (the title track's lyric is; "You don't feel so overcome by happiness.") Yet, for a release on Sub-Pop, who must bear the onus of spearheading the grunge movement, this record is a surprising tidal wave of pop. That's "pop" as in "songs you must sing along with the very first time you hear them." Sleepy pop. Dreamy pop. So dreamy, in fact, that some of the songs, like dew on the lawn, threaten to evaporate into the air ("Sick Of You.")
The Pernice Brothers are backed up by an orchestra and led by Joe Pernice's breathy, wistful vocals. And some of these hooks will stay with you long after the disc has stopped spinning. So dive into something soft and fluffy, but please listen responsibly; due to the sequencing of the most sedate songs at the end of the record, it is ill advised to operate heavy machinery while listening to this disc.

Entertainment Weekly (6/5/98, p.85) - "...[Joe Pernice's] new band's elegant piano foundation, irony-free songwriting and musical debt to Nick Drake and Brian Wilson make them sound like a Ben Folds Five for adults." - Rating: A- Overcome By Happiness Music | List Price | $11.98 (You save $2.09) | | Category | Rock Albums, Rock/Pop CDs, Alternative | | Label | Sub Pop | | Orig Year | 1998 | | All Time Sales Rank |  10359  | | CD Universe Part number | 1120469 | | Catalog number | 427 | | Discs | 1 | | Release Date | May 19, 1998 | | Studio/Live | Studio | | Mono/Stereo | Stereo | | Engineer | Michael Deming; David Shuman; Mike Deming; Thom Monahan | | Personnel | Peter McEachern

Jim Malcolm was brought up in the heart of Scotland, in Perthshire and Angus, and was steeped in traditional music and song from a young age. He learned to play guitar while at school and by his early twenties was winning songwriting contests and playing in folk clubs all over Scotland. He took up harmonica in his twenties and is now a leading exponent of simultaneous guitar and harmonica, “displaying more talent than many who have made their living from harmonica alone”, as a critic from The Scotsman wrote after Jim’s Edinburgh Festival Fringe show.His career began to take off when he hosted the open stage at Edinburgh Folk Festival. The critics recognised that his talent was the strongest on show. His debut album, Sconeward, was acclaimed by critics and chosen as one of the year’s best by Radio Scotland’s folk programmes Travelling Folk and Celtic Connections, and it brought in bookings at folk clubs and festivals in Britain and abroad. Soon established as one of the leading songwriters in the traditional idiom in Scotland, Jim was welcomed as: “The new male voice of Scotland.”Songs from Sconeward have been recorded and are regularly performed by international acts such as The McCalmans and The Poozies (sung by Kate Rusby), and Jim was asked to give songwriting and song accompaniment masterclasses at many festivals, including Scotland’s foremost festival, Celtic Connections in Glasgow.Next up was Rohallion, a collection of Jim’s new songs recorded with gifted pianist and fiddler Dave Watt and percussionist Iain MacFadyen. “An intoxicating display of lyrical and musical genius” was how Rock ‘n’ Reel described the CD, from which Jim’s song Battle of Waterloo, to the pipe tune of the same name, was an instant hit.Rohallion consolidated Jim’s reputation as one of Scotland’s most exciting young folk acts, and brought repeated requests for television and radio appearances. STV broadcast a documentary on Jim and Angus singer Jim Reid for its Artery series, and their singing was featured in the “best of” programme which rounded off the series. He also sang in the Northern Nights series on Grampian Television and STV.In January 1999 Jim joined one of Scotland’s most popular international folk acts, the Old Blind Dogs from north east Scotland, and worked with them all over the UK, in France, Spain, Italy, Denmark, Germany, USA, Canada and Bulgaria. His song Battle of Waterloo was recorded on their sixth album, The World’s Room and another of his compositions, ...
