Description
Happy New Year by Violent Femmes 12" 45RPM EP Limited Edition Champagne Color. Only 2500 produced.
Happy New Year EP is a quick collection of four tightly crafted and potent tracks. The EP begins with “Happy New Year Next Year,” a spritely ditty that leaves a delightfully poignant taste in the listener’s mouth. The album continues with a dark, Latin twist in “Love Love Love Love Love.” The Violent Femme’s horn section creates a sorrowful spice to the track. “Good for Nothing” is a fast paced, funky groove composed of infectious, self-loathing lyrics that beg to be sung along with. The album closes with a grunge-infused country ballad “Fast Horses.” As far as ballads go, it’s no “Good Feeling” (Violent Femmes, 1983), yet it serves its purpose as an effective, mellow closing track.
The Violent Femmes have always been an esoteric cult classic, comforting a misunderstood generation in a way only punk music can. Happy New Year EP marks the much-needed return of an incredibly unique and influential band.
