{"product_id":"apero","title":"Apero","description":"\u003cp\u003eHappy Meals is the Glasgow-based duo of Suzanne Rodden and Lewis Cook, life-partners since high school finding expression in cosmic form. Originally from the Scottish borders, Rodden and Cook (also of The Cosmic Dead) began Happy Meals in a flurry of experimentation at Glasgow's creative hub The Green Door Studio. Initially the result of a free music production course, Apéro sees the pair embark on a blissful voyage into a love-fuelled, outward-looking hedonism. Both artists operate machines and sing but it's the dominating Franco-Scottish lingua-franca of Suzanne Rodden that imbues a sense of seductive fun to the album. Their first recorded statement, Apéro is an instant rush of Kosmiche-disco, utterly addictive and inviting. The epic Crystal Salutation welcomes the listener in with analogue synths delayed into the horizon before Electronic Disco ushers in distorted drum machines and Rodden's disco-atsunset vocal. Album stand-out Altered Images is a pop-masterpiece, mixing French \/ Italo disco, acid basslines and a sense of Scottish optimism. 'Age Of Love' is unabashedly the feeling of being up until day-break, with layered synths climaxing all-around. Retro-futuristic visions abound on the beat-less Visions Of Utopia before closer Le Voyage reprises back the cosmopolitan disco, playing out the perfect club night in ecstatic fashion. It's an enchanting, inclusive vision; everyone is invited, the future is bright. Just say yes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Night School","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50467565240651,"sku":"381660","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/368f4a53-4247-4a91-8c87-8c441dc66ae7_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727339297","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/fr\/products\/apero","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
