Superhuman Happiness, a project headed by Stuart Bogie (Arcade Fire, Iron and Wine, Antibalas), is gearing up to release their next full length, Beacon, this coming October in collaboration with Yeggs Records. Keep an ear out for single releases between now and release day, and in the meantime you can read more about the project and Bogie's impressive career down below.

Superhuman Happiness is a musical collective led by Brooklyn multi-instrumentalist Stuart Bogie, who is known for his work with Arcade Fire (2013-present), Iron and Wine (2010-2013), TV on the Radio (2007-2009), and Antibalas (2001-2012). The group has announced their third full-length album, Beacon, which marks the 10-year anniversary of the band, and arrives October 19 via their new label, Yeggs Records.

Beacon features vocalist Dia Luna alongside Bogie and longtime collaborator, Eric Biondo. Special guest appearances by Richard Reed Parry (Arcade Fire), Colin Stetson (Bon Iver, Cold Equations), and Dave Harrington (Darkside) bring distinction and new character to the sound of the album.

While Superhuman Happiness has earned a reputation for ass-shaking, euphoric dance music, this collection of songs takes a darker and more emotional turn. Written and recorded in the haunted attic of an old carriage house in Pittsburgh, the album delves into themes of sacrifice, isolation, and rebirth. Nevertheless, Bogie's ability to consistently inspire his collaborators is the catalyst for an emotional journey through darkness that never loses sight of redemption. A beacon.

The first single, "Bury Me (By Where My Baby Walks)," comes out July 12th.

Production by Bogie, Ian Hersey, Mathew Scheiner, and Josh Kaufman.
