Hot Hot Heat have provided a number of details about the recording process of their new full-length, Happiness Ltd.. Here's what the band had to say:
Everything just seemed to happen so quickly and all of a sudden we realized we've been working on this record for two years! True, half of that was on tour... but we wrote a good chunk of the record backstage, on the bus, in hotels and in airports. Whenever we thought it was done, something new would delay it. We actually finished the record in June - it was mixed and mastered and ready to go - until we wrote a song called Let Me In... and decided that HAD to be on the record. And that opened up Pandora's box... we were writing all these new songs and the new direction of the album was unavoidable; we had to follow it out to see where it would go. Right as we were about to hand it in every time... "Hold on, hold on! Wait a second, what about this...?" Normally each person has the songs they love and the songs they could live without; but the goal of this record was to put out something with unanimous excitement. So in retrospect I'm grateful for every delay... they were all musical delays and it lead to an album that all four of us actually love from beginning to end... and that's usually a hard thing to stumble upon. We've titled the album "Happiness Ltd." and now that it is officially finished...
