Under The Shade Of Green

The Happy Fits' third full-length is a massive leap forward for the New Jersey trio, who have already built a serious following with their energetic and electrifying pop-rock style.

At once a showcase of rock-solid songcraft and gleeful experimentation, Under the Shade of Green is a deceptively bright opus that also zooms in on the anxieties and catastrophes of daily life while never losing its irresistibly hooky attitude.

From the punchy Dance Alone to the serpentine riffs of Do Your Worst, Under the Shade of Green fnds The Happy Fits unloading earworm after earworm — even as darkness looms, as suggested by the album's cover of a pineapple covered in faming money. "It's a metaphor for what we are all seeing and not talking about enough," Langman says refecting on the album's overall arc." If these songs don't make you feel alive—well, you might just want to check your pulse.
