Hot Hot Heat - Happiness Ltd.

Canadian indie rock quartet Hot Hot Heat is back with their fourth, Happiness Ltd., and was released a couple of days ago under Warner's Sire Records. They have abandoned their new wave sound, with something more 'sorrow' ballad songs.

"We wanted this record to be written on the road...partly so the influences would be more varied, but also so we could test out the songs live before we recorded them. We wrote music everywhere - Spain, Japan, Australia, the U.K. - so each song has a different mood.....playful melodies and witty wordplay...It's difficult to describe its overall musical direction, but if I had to choose two adjectives I'd go with 'big' and 'aggressive'...As a band, we got most excited about the over-the-top, epic-sounding songs, so we kept pushing the tracks that way. The album has its fair share of seedy club songs, but they are dirtier and darker." - Steve Bays, vocals, keyboards, co-founder.

Their new single, Let Me In.
