Bay Area bred band Happy Diving as one of our Best New Artists of the year and “Big World” was a huge part of that. Splashed with humid riffs and bright melodies, Happy Diving’s sound is beautifully bittersweet; a marriage of power and pretty reminiscent of Ovlov and Tony Molina. “Big World” is a must hear sludge pop record that’ll have you singing along to some of life’s most disappointing and unnerving moments. Adding more body and oomph to their sound, producer Jack Shirley (Deafheaven, Joyce Manor, Whirr) took all of HD’s bubbling energy, potential, and power oozing out of their EP and doubled-down on it all, channeling it into a stunning debut full of heavy, unrelenting guitars that will pound your head into your intestines.
