The Ninth Wave announce new EP 'Happy Days!'

After blowing us away with their brilliant debut album 'Infancy' last year, The Ninth Wave are now back to announce the details behind a new EP release, arriving in the coming months.

The new EP 'Happy Days!' is being previewed by the release's title-track, which was produced by Faris Badwan of The Horrors in the Outer Hebrides, and is set to be released on the 17th July via Distiller Records.

Speaking about their new single, the band said, “'Happy Days!' is a song of ups and downs. At its core, the lyrics shine a torchlight on the murky highs and lows of life. We wanted to make something harsher and more direct than songs we had written before, and this came together relatively quickly. The flow of the song really captures what we were trying to get across with the lyrics: there's a rumbling undertow throughout the whole song, interspersed with ethereal ambient sections and culminating in big nasty crushing beats. We were all agreed that this should be the first song from our new EP to let people hear, and hopefully they're not frightened away.”
