The Wytches - All Your Happy Life

All Your Happy Life is the second album from English rock act The Wytches, out in September 2016 on Heavenly Recordings. The release was recorded by Jim Sclavunos (Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds / Grinderman) in Chapel Studios in Lincolnshire and then Toe Rag in East London, and mixed by Sclavunos and Mikey Young. All Your Happy Life draws on a lifetime's worth of new experiences shoehorned into two whirlwind years since their acclaimed debut album Annabel Dream Reader. There's no difficult second album syndrome here. This black-hearted set is a combination of heavy comedown psychedelia and bilious and brilliant baroque 'n' roll. It's portentous and scathing. Scabrous and bold. Utterly nihilistic.
