Happy Accidents announce new album ‘Edit Undo’
HAPPY ACCIDENTS have announced a new album!
Titled Edit Undo, the upcoming album from the London-based indie punk duo is the follow-up to 2022’s cgwarmth, and is scheduled to be released in September this year, via Alcopop! Records.
To support their new album, the band will be building and inviting their fans into a whole secret world around the album, all taking place on a hidden artist profile on the streaming platforms. To gain access, fans will have to actively support the band by pre-ordering the record, or searching for the hidden page. In return, there will be extra singles, alternate versions and story elements—all of which happen along an alternate timeline.
“This isn’t a backlash against streaming or anything like that,” says label boss Jack Clothier of the idea. “It’s an experiment by two established DIY artists who have already toured the world, played every festival going, signed to indies, signed to major global management, and tried playing the game vs. not playing the game, to actually see if they can switch things up and continue to sustainably make their art for years to come.”
Adding their own thoughts on the concept for the release, the band says, “it’s partly about looking at ways to challenge the ‘flash in the pan’ nature of releasing music nowadays. It feels like with digital distribution, many small scale releases are here today gone tomorrow, and everyone immediately moves on. This is sort of an experiment in digital liner notes, trying to do something interesting within the streaming space without losing the convenience of how we all listen to music in 2024.”
Alongside the announcement of the new album, HAPPY ACCIDENTS have released a new song lifted the upcoming album; Infinite Possibilities. Speaking about the new song, guitarist/vocalist Rich Mandell says, “this song is about how our brains play tricks on us, and how easy it is to feel boxed in despite an open road ahead. There are infinite ways to interpret the events that happen to us, and maybe only through endless trial and error will we really figure out what’s going on up there.”
