Charm School – Happiness is a Warm Sun

In a bold move, Charm School presents “Happiness Is A Warm Sun”, a seven-minute exploration of sound that perfectly captures our current zeitgeist. The Louisville post-punk collective, led by Andrew Sellers, has crafted an intriguing piece that emerged from pure studio improvisation.

The track stands apart from their usual sound, featuring a persistent rhythm that builds and develops over its extended runtime. What makes this piece particularly interesting is its spontaneous creation – both musically and lyrically – addressing contemporary issues from rising fascism to algorithmic control of our daily lives.

The single offers a preview of their upcoming album “Debt Forever”, scheduled for release in January 2025. It’s worth noting how the band, completed by Matt Filip, Drew English, Brian Vega, and Jason Bemis Lawrence, has evolved since their 2023 EP “Finite Jest”.
