The Happy Fits Dance Into Their New Album Lovesick With New Single “Cruel Power”

The Happy Fits’ first single from their upcoming new album Everything You Do can already be heard on Bangor’s alternative and now the band has released the dancy video for the track Cruel Power. Coinciding with the new track is the announcement their new album Lovesick will be released September 19th.

Lovesick is the band’s first new album in three years and it comes after the band saw old friends depart and new friends arrive, including guitarists/vocalists Nico Rose and Raina Mullen and drummer Luke Davis.

Speaking on Cruel Power frontman Calvin Langman says “this track lives in the messiest corners of attraction. It’s about knowingly putting yourself in a situation that’s bad for your heart, and doing it anyway. The lines between friend and lover blur, and suddenly you’re watering someone else’s plants and wondering how you got here. There’s humor in it, self-deprecation, and a little lustful chaos. I wanted it to feel like a late-night spiral in song form. It captures that ridiculous, electric moment when you know you’re being played—but part of you kinda loves the drama.”

As for the choreographed video with the band dancing along with acclaimed choregrapher/dancer Lucy Vallely, Langman adds “I love one-take music videos. I love how it breaks down the convention of band and crew and it forces everyone to assume the role of performer. Every movement is carefully planned and the entire set has to move like one giant hive mind. This video was a huge group effort.”

The Happy Fits are on tour with a stop in Maine December 9th at the State Theatre in Portland.
