The record is broken down into two smaller albums û ': ,: Happy, which was released in January 2020, and Sad, completing :, : the album on March 13th. : :' ': ,: Both parts of this record feature seven sparkling new songs :, : commenting on both of these emotions. Perhaps the clever record : :' has been named Sad Happy to prove to us all that you canÆt have ': ,: one without the other, and people will always find something to :, : be sad about, despite being cheerful. Frontman Kieran Shudall : :' explains this decision, saying ôwe live in a world split into ': ,: two extreme halves,ö û the happy and the sad. :, : : :' The initial seven songs cover Happy, and sticking to the theme, ': ,: all are cheerful indie pop tracks looking at the positives in :, : our lives. The following seven that make up Sad are much more : :' personal to the band. Whilst the music may not necessarily ': ,: sound downbeat, donÆt let this trick you into a false sense of :, : security û the topic areas are a nod to heartbreak, growing up : :' and sadness. ': ,: :, : Sad Happy is the first track on the Sad record, and it acts as a : :' bridge between the two halves. Already released as a single, it ': ,: follows the high standards set in the initial part of the :, : record. Wake Up Call leans more towards the negative side of the : :' album, and whilst the track features a groovy bassline ': ,: accompanied with stylish synths, ShudallsÆ lyrics æIÆve been :, : lying to myself for weeksÆ speaks of a person living under a : :' false pretenses.Æ ': ,: :, : This can cleverly be mirrored right here in the song, because : :' whilst it sounds shiny and innovating, itÆs self-deprecating ': ,: and negative. Battered and Bruised is very similar in this :, : sense, and despite a punching drum beat and a frequent piano, it : :' explores heartbreak angrily. The acoustic track Sympathy ': ,: exemplifies this, with a downbeat undecorated accompaniment û it :, : works perfectly, and the synth-heavy Hope thereÆs Heaven : :' explores the desire in us all for something better. ': ,: :, : Perhaps the most intriguing part of the whole album is Train to : :' Lime Street û a song that features absolutely no vocals. ': ,: Instead, the audience is forced to just stop and listen. ItÆs :, : extremely effective, especially in this fast moving time of : :' social media, just to sit and focus on the noises such as ': ,: chatter and train tracks. Circa Waves have almost created a song :, : to meditate and relax to, something so important for us all to : :' do. The last track Birthday Cake focuses on ageing, and as lead ': ,: singer Kieran Shudall said in an interview æI think the :, : celebration of growing old is an odd thingÆ, reflected in the : :' elegant lyrics in the song æwho cares when we goÆ. ItÆs a ': ,: beautifully crafted, slow song to reflect the bittersweet :, : aspects of life. : :' ': ,: Circa Waves deliver a stunning new album full of the :, : contradictions that we deal with through life. They remind us : :' that itÆs perfectly normal to be Sad and Happy.
