The Wind Ups prove once again that they are architects of controlled anarchy, & masters of their own domain
The Wind Ups are back with the video for their title track, ‘Happy Like This’ LP. This high-energy bedroom punk project from Northern California is serving up eleven tracks of pure, unadulterated noise pop and punk.
Since their 2021 debut, ‘Try Not To Think,’ this Northern California bedroom project turned touring powerhouse has earned a reputation as a lights-out live band, mirroring the breakneck pace of their record. Brace yourself for the same frenetic combustion on their second LP, ‘Happy Like This.’
In a familiar move, frontman Jake Sprecher once again finds himself in his creative cocoon, helming every aspect of the record’s creation. From writing and performing to recording and mixing, Sprecher reigns supreme from the backyard confines of his home in the college town of Chico.
Embracing the DIY ethos, ‘Happy Like This’ was produced in identical fashion to its predecessor, with Sprecher slamming ¼” tape into the red and delivering a sonic experience that will leave you craving more.
The album boasts a relentless energy, with tracks like ‘Oh I Know’ and ‘Tell Me Again (How Pretty I Am)’ offering blistering hooks that grab you by the ears and refuse to let go. Meanwhile, odd-measure pushers like ‘Nothing But Time’ and ‘Starting To Lose Ya’ showcase The Wind Ups’ ability to defy conventional structures, keeping listeners on their toes and immersed in a whirlwind of sonic chaos.
With ‘Happy Like This,’ The Wind Ups prove once again that they are architects of controlled anarchy, masters of their own sonic domain.
