To term, Newcastle natives Let’s Buy Happiness as a fledgling band seems inappropriate. They have spent the last two years amassing an unquestionable presence in the consciousness of fans of their unique and ethereal, arctic-stung, indie rhapsodies.

Their story began with the Six Wolves single release in late 2010 and slowly but surely LBH have been mastering their craft, the old fashioned way. Fast Fast (Produced by Frankie &amp; The Heartstrings guitarist Mick Ross) was next up and it paved the way to their second successive Glastonbury festival booking. Let’s Buy Happiness have played support to both the estimable Temper Trap and the ever resplendent Frankie &amp; The Heartstrings.

Along with live dates of their own, the hard work has paid off with recognition from Radio 1 in the form of a coveted slot playing the Introducing stage at the 2011 Big Weekend (predecessors include Stornoway, Florence &amp; the Machine and Bombay Bicycle Club), and Maida Vale Sessions for Huw Stephens at Radio 1, Tom Robinson at 6 Music and John Kennedy at Xfm.

A period of song writing has produced some fantastic new material. Despite numerous demos being recorded and discarded, with each self-imposed rejection the five-piece found that their song-writing muscles were becoming lean and sinuous. Let’s Buy Happiness are finally ready to release the first fruits of that labour. Their forthcoming single Dirty Lakes is both a statement of intent and a platinum bound progression - a mature and focused leap forward in songwriting craft.

Dirty Lakes is dark, happy, elegant, bright and youthful. It layers all of these motifs with intricate instrumentation and is accordingly a timeless classic-in-waiting. The fledgling North-Easterners have found their wings and are expecting to fly.
Let’s Buy Happiness will release their debut album in early 2012. See the web for all forthcoming dates and festival appearances.

Let's Buy Happiness - WorksBetterOnPaper

Set to be release on October 18th with 'Woodrings', here's an advanced version of new single 'Six Wolves'.


“...one of the most thrilling new bands I’ve seen in years”
Sean Adams, DROWNED IN SOUND

“Let’s Buy Happiness are going to be your favourite new band.  Vocalist Sarah Hall’s voice is beautifully tender, quite unlike anything I’ve heard before- it has a gorgeous subtle frailty to it that draws the listener in and holds them fast.”
NARC.

"Clearly already on their way to greatness." 
TOM ROBINSON, BBC 6MUSIC

“Delay-smothered guitars and wordy lyrics shot through with an air of impending doom. The highlight of their five-song debut EP, No Hot Ashes, is Devil Show, a wonderfully skewed pop ditty brought to life by Sarah Hall’s restless vocals.” 
METRO

Let’s Buy Happiness stand apart from the typical sound normally associated with the North East, mixing delayed guitar soundscapes with compelling vocals reminiscent of Liz Fraser of Cocteau Twins.

The band has supported Idlewild, The Temper Trap, Vivian Girls and The Futureheads, played at Glastonbury (John Peel Stage), The Great Escape, Evolution Festival and T4’s Outside-In Festival.

With a DIY approach to their music and artwork, Let’s Buy Happiness self-released debut EP ‘No Hot Ashes’.  

Lead track ‘Works Better on Paper’ has received multiple plays on BBC 6Music by Tom Robinson and Lauren Laverne and the band were chosen by Tom Robinson to perform at a special BBC Introducing gig at Maida Vale.  ‘Devil Show’ was chosen by Drowned in Sound editor Sean Adams as part of his ‘Class of 2010’ feature. 

The ‘No Hot Ashes’ EP is available now and follow-up double A-side single ‘Six Wolves’/ ‘Woodrings’  will be released later in the year.
