Happy When It Rains E.P.

The Jesus and Mary Chain

Gloomy pop. Shimmering melodies fight through a haze of feedback and drum machine thuds, capturing the exact feeling of a rainy city afternoon.

Find on Amazon

It's the ultimate record for when you're feeling miserable but still want to look like a rock star.

A cool, detached romanticism that finds a strange kind of joy in melancholic urban settings.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The transition from the polished title track to the skeletal, hiss-heavy demo version
The sharp, feedback-drenched guitar stabs that punctuate the rhythmic drive of Shake
The way the drum machine on Happy Place feels intentionally stiff against the fluid vocals
