LA art-punk outfit, Happy Hollows, were founded by two polar opposites - bohemian California native Sarah Negahdari, and Washington, DC Ph.D. student and bassist Charlie Mahoney. Today, the duo is debuting brand new electric album cut "Decide" via Ghettoblaster. The track is about coping with the good and bad changes that come in life, and understanding that endings are merely subjective. A rare decision for the duo, "Decide" was recorded with few guitar parts, and prominently showcases Negahdari's magnetic vocals. The duo previously debuted dance-y album cut "Meteors" via Buzzbands.la, album track "Silent Partner" with TIDAL, and premiered the music video for "Feel The Moon" with Blackbook.

Happy Hollows' magnetic stage presence and striking musical chops put them on the map when they released their critically acclaimed debut album, Spells in 2009. The twosome met at a strip mall where Sarah was working as a tarot reader just after Mahoney had relocated to LA. The band would go on to spend the next couple of years transforming into a staple of LA's underground music scene, touring across the country with indie-favorites like Lucius, Japandroids, Silversun Pickups, Deerhoof, and Wavves. Two albums later, Happy
Hollows are back with a brand new album, Concordia, due out
September 8th. If you're in LA, you can catch the band playing at The
Satellite on 9/29.
Concordia celebrates Happy Hollows' evolved sonic aesthetic, showcasing analog synth melodies, polyrhythmic drumming, and angular guitars. The duo enlisted the help of Los
Angeles producer Lewis Pesacov (Best Coast) and London producer and mixing engineer Gareth Jones (Grizzly Bear, Depeche Mode, Interpol, Liars). The collection represents the peak of Happy Hollows' artistic progression, combining the live dynamism and energy of their early releases with the creative sonic palette and layered synth arrangements of their recent work.
