Here is something we all need more of in 2025, happiness and warm sun. And so, it’s apt the first song we give you in 2025 is ‘Happiness is a Warm Sun’ by Charm School. The band release its debut full-length album, Debt Forever, in January some time. If this track is anything to go by, it could be cracker. Anyway, give this song a listen, we love it at DeClunk HQ.
“This song is kind of an outlier on the record. It’s the only song that was basically improvised in the studio, and the only one where the lyrics were written sort of “automatically.” They’re all ideas that have been swirling around in the collective unconscious for awhile now, pertaining to the intense state of the world: the rise of fascism, ongoing wars, financial pressure, overpopulation, media at a million miles per hour, the spectre of the algorithm, the total lack of empathy online, etc.. ” -Charm School
