Premiere: Happy Meals – ‘If You Want Me Now’

Wonderfully artful synthetic pop...

Happy Meals are a Glasgow duo who capture the ineffable strangeness of electronic pop music.

The pair released their debut album 'Apéro' last year, a collection of synthetic pop hymns that defied categorisation.

Superbly artful and wonderfully crafted, Happy Meals are now set to follow their bright, lauded debut album with new EP 'Fruit Juice'.

Picking up exactly where the full length leaves off, 'Fruit Juice' explores fresh ground while still bearing that gorgeous melodic touch.

Out on May 13th via Night School Records (pre-order LINK), Clash is able to tease the release with new cut 'If You Want Me Now'.

The hazy, airy synths are matched to sighing vocals that slip and slide from English to French and back again.

Expansive – it breaks the six minute mark – 'If You Want Me Now' never tires, a ceaseless ode to seduction that will really get under your skin.

Check it out now.
