The Fat Angel Sings

Like a waif of translucent and yet tangible light comes Peace’s new album. “Happy People” is Peace at their lighter than air best, still maintaining their 90’s influences with gaunt and fur-coat-wearing exuberance but this time with a little more refinement. Being allowed the time and money to create something big bold and brassy by a huge label like Columbia clearly allows bands to create stellar pieces of work – Castles’ guitar work especially benefitting and standing him out amongst his peers. Happy People is a great record and a must-have for any u21, the irony is though only ‘O You’ and ‘World Pleasures’ are about happy people.
