专辑简介

t's been a pretty damn fine year for Happy Accidents. The indie-punk trio released their debut album You Might Be Right on Alcopop! Records which received attention from publications including Noisey, DIY, Kerrang! and Rock Sound Magazine. After catching the attention of BBC Introducing London, the band went on to be be played by Annie Mac, Huw Stephens, Steve Lamacq and John Kennedy before being awarded a slot on the BBC Introducing stage at Reading and Leeds Festivals alongside appearances at the likes of 2000 Trees, Truck, Southsea, Hand Made, WTFest, A Carefully Planned and more.

Now they're signing off the year in quite some style, announcing some really rather fantastic tours – alongside releasing a cover of the seminal Grime's hit Californinia! Finding themselves with a day in MJ's (from Hookworms) Suburban Home studio, they recorded a wonderful version of the popular hit, as a little post-Christmas treat before work on album number 2 begins in earnest. Originally posting an acoustic version on their Facebook page last year, it's long been a favourite track of Happy Accidents who have made it a staple of their set all festival summer.

Vocalist Rich says of the track: “My interpretation of the song is that it's a reaction to success, which obviously we have no real experience with. But part of why I relate to the song so much is how it deals with how the notion of what's considered cool can be so fickle. So much of what's written about music in the mainstream media are often completely devoid of an emotional response, when sometimes that's really that's the only thing that matters. Also it's catchy as hell - Grimes really is the best.”
