Happy Family Discography of CDs

Happy Family explodes with American rock & roll and prog in the way only Japanese bands seem to be able to do -- the record's tracks are quite simply rocking, taking frantic post-punk guitar noise, new wavey synth lines, syncopated, jerky song constructions, and incredibly tight changes to extremes most bands could only dream of.

Happy Family music CDs Toscco is yet another miraculous progression on the frantic rock and prog Happy Family is so adept at constructing -- the album backs down from the straightforward energy of records like their self-titled release, and manages to add an epic melodic sense that could even suggest vague comparisons to Godspeed You Black Emperor!. The rock is still there, of course -- Toscco returns to the tight, intense riffing of previous records just often enough -- but there's a definite rise in the level of sophistication, making for slightly more atmospheric and slanted compositions. The fact that this stands as a large improvement over the already brilliant albums which ...
