The Happy Somethings are killing two birds with one stone on their new Caught In The Web EP: the rabbit hole of misinformation and general stupidity that people can stumble into on social media as well as the spiders and flies that keep them company in their recording space. And it actually works both ways: serious worries and a bit of a laugh are locked into a groove.
Instead of filming an unfortunate victim for a couple of likes in Kiss of Life, people might actually call for help from the boys and girls who can take care of her. A Quick Waylay is a plea for keeping the phone in one's pocket in order to connect with the real world and - gasp! - maybe even real people.
The trio's off-kilter folk leanings are a breath of fresh air. Changes are that they are preaching to the converted, but worldwide recognition or headlining Glastonbury were not part of the plan when they started the band. It is nice and comfortable in their niche, being quintessentially English as tea and biscuits.
Caught In The Web is a self-released EP. Buy it from their website.
