Mickey Gloss left the east coast of Australia for London amidst the chaos and disorder of the riots in summer 2011. Signposting all of that anarchy and energy is excellent lead single Are You Happy?, where wry social commentary meets punk DIY and garage psychedelia in a distillation of antipodean sun and London melancholia.
It sounds like it comes straight from 1978, and we love it all the more for that. Have a listen and check out the b-side Run! too.
