Happiness Is

Taking Back Sunday

A mature, expansive take on alternative rock. Weathered vocals and lush arrangements trade teenage angst for the complexities of adulthood and long-term memory.

March 18, 2014 · Hopeless Records

A reflective and steady-handed exploration of adulthood that balances lingering regrets with a hard-won sense of peace.

Moments Worth Listening For
The cinematic swell of strings in the opening track that transitions into the driving rhythm of Flicker, Fade.
The raw, unpolished grit in Lazzara's voice during the bridge of Better Homes and Gardens.
The way the dual vocals weave together with newfound restraint on the closing track Nothing at All.
