‘DIY’ is the second single from ‘All Kinds of Days’. An infectious tempo and trademark plonking keyboard
melody from Raisa. Suitman Jungle once again takes vocal duties with a poem about keeping a house together,
though really too much time was spent writing the song rather than actually fixing the problems described. Try.
Do. Good. Skewed by Calderwood’s floods of no wave saxophone.
Good Sad Happy Bad is CJ Calderwood, Marc Pell, Mica Levi and Raisa Khan.
With their sophomore album ‘All Kinds of Days’ (debut ‘Shades’ 2020 Textile Records) Good Sad Happy Bad further develop their collective approach to songwriting and composition. Taking improvised instrumental sessions and carving into them with solo vocals from each of the four members appearing at some point across the record as well as the band frequently coming together in supporting chorus.
The album navigates themes of loss, grief, recovery, healing, home building and parenthood with an unsettling sonic palette of spidery guitar riffs, haunted woodwind and hoarse electronics in disguise as pop songs and held together by a core of driving drums and deceptively complex melody.
