The Happy Pill Academy is from London in the United States of Britain. It is a one-person endeavour but that one person maintains a healthy relationship with the other completely fictitious members of the band.
This alternative reality project blends together character-driven lyrics, Lo-Fi riffs and an altogether fresh perspective on the kind of noise you can make with one acoustic guitar.
Reminiscent of Nirvana / Eels / Beck, they are known for their energetic solo acoustic shows and post-rock sensibilities. Pill Academy are now starting to ramp up their live shows and are promoting a new slew of material scheduled for 2019.
On their upcoming track ‘... and then to black’ they explore the process of a long and drawn out transition from this world and into the next.
A more personal piece of music – ostensibly about a relative passing – than anything from their debut album, this is available as a single on all major streaming platforms from Friday November 30th and there is a five track EP exclusive to Bandcamp from Friday November 23rd.
An EP with various bonus tracks will be launched via Bandcamp on Friday 23rd of November (and is currently available for pre-order)
