Happy Up Here is to be the first single released from Junior. The track seems to echo a return to the sophisticated and minimal approach of Melody AM rather than the ambient and triumphant sound of The Understanding. Happy Up Here has a similar meandering sound as Melody AM’s Eple but Torbjørn and Svein have confirmed the new album will have shared elements from the previous two albums. Good times!
The album contains collaborations with Robyn, Lykke Li, Karin Dreijer Andersson and Anneli Drecker.
Bit of confusion about the video for Happy Up Here as there are two different versions on Youtube from Record Label Mushroom Smoke. One is called ‘official‘ but I can’t embed it and the other isn’t called official but I can embed it. So here is the embed version…
