The beginning of “Montreal Rock Band Somewhere” feels like a Gish or Siamese Dream outtake; the circular nature of the bass-line, the heartfelt, reverb-y clean guitars, and the breath-y, low-in the mix vocals. Never really building to a climax, the drone-y nature of the Happyness track serves them well, and the video, which is basically a tripped out visual of Jesus on loop, makes it’s debut below. Catch them on the road in October, including at CMJ. Dates are below.
