Our Take

GROUPLOVE's debut album "Never Trust A Happy Song" is a rollercoaster of quirky melodies and infectious energy. From the opening track "Itchin' on a Photograph" to the closing anthem "Colours," this album has more hooks than a fisherman's tackle box.

The band's signature blend of indie pop and rock is on full display here, with lead singers Christian Zucconi and Hannah Hooper trading off vocals like a musical game of tag. Their voices dance around each other, creating a dynamic contrast that keeps the listener on their toes.

Tracks like "Tongue Tied" and "Lovely Cup" are instant earworms, with catchy choruses that will have you singing along in no time. But don't be fooled by the infectious beats - beneath the surface, there's a deeper emotional core to these songs that gives them extra weight.

The production on "Never Trust A Happy Song" is top-notch, with every instrument and vocal line crystal clear and perfectly balanced. It's like being wrapped in a warm musical blanket, with layers of sound that reveal new details with each listen.

In short, GROUPLOVE's debut album is a must-listen for anyone who likes their music with a side of quirkiness and a sprinkle of indie charm. Never trust a happy song, but you can definitely trust this album to brighten your day.
