Something Corporate continue to make 2024 a massive year for their reunion, as they have again released another new single, “Happy,” with veteran indie/pop singer/songwriter Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness.
The upbeat pop/rock “Happy” was produced and mixed by Luke Nicoli (Gwen Stefani, mxmtoon) with co-production coming from McMahon and Daniel Omelio. It follows the previously released “Death Grip,” and is out now via Big Loud Rock.
“I wrote ‘Happy’ toward the end of the pandemic,” shares McMahon. “There was this sense that we were all coming out of this strange moment collectively and I wanted to write something that reflected that. There was this aching for normalcy, a humble kind of happiness where you could just be, without confronting a four-alarm fire every other day. Years later I think that sentiment still makes a lot of sense. For me, the magic of this song is in the visuals and vignettes of everyday life in my weird little beach town and the return to a production style that includes super distorted guitars. There’s something in the message of ‘Happy’ and in its lyrical and aesthetic ties to Southern California that always made it feel like a Something Corporate song. I’m glad I held it back from the last Wilderness record and that it ended up at home in the studio with Brian, Will, Josh and Clutch.”
