London-based indie rockers Happyness combine dreamy melodies that take inspiration from '90s indie outfits like Sparklehorse and Pavement with wry insights that inform their brooding songs. They debuted as a trio in 2014 with Weird Little Birthday, slimming down to a duo by the time of 2020's Floatr without skimping on guitar-anchored texture. ~ Scott Kerr
