Deaf Club continues their scathing indictment of society with their second full-length album, being released on Southern Lord and Three One G: We Demand a Permanent State of Happiness. Fast wit and faster blast beats are mainstays of the band, but there is also a sense of growth. This is their strongest songwriting yet, incorporating more hooks and good old-fashioned moments to mosh while staying as weird as ever. Raygun guitar riffs and unexplainable sounds abound. Justin Pearson, Brian Amalfitano, Scott Osment, and Jason Klein excel at inciting emotion in the face of apathy and voicing disgust amid a world rapidly burning.
We Demand a Permanent State of Happiness was recorded and edited by Alex Estrada at Pale Moon Ranch and Luke Henshaw at Penguin Studio. Mixed by Daniel Schlett. Mastered by Nathan Joyner. Pressed on three different limited edition color vinyl variants, released by Three One G and Southern Lord.
