The Ninth Wave are back with details of their new Faris Badwan-produced EP Happy Days!, and have shared the title-track as the lead single.

"Happy Days!" is the first new single from the Glasgow group since their 2019 debut LP Infancy.

The band say of their new single, ""Happy Days!" is a song of ups and downs. At its core, the lyrics shine a torchlight on the murky highs and lows of life. We wanted to make something harsher and more direct than songs we had written before, and this came together relatively quickly. The flow of the song really captures what we were trying to get across with the lyrics: there's a rumbling undertow throughout the whole song, interspersed with ethereal ambient sections and culminating in big nasty crushing beats. We were all agreed that this should be the first song from our new EP to let people hear, and hopefully they're not frightened away."

Happy Days! is produced by The Horrors' lead vocalist Faris Badwan, and was recorded between Black Bay studio on Great Bernera in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland.

The Ninth Wave's "Happy Days!" single is out now, Their EP of the same name will be released 17 July via Distiller Records.
