"New York's Happy Ending has created a pleasing brand of Coldplay-esque indie rock."

New York's Happy Ending has created a pleasing brand of Coldplay-esque indie rock.

"Lay Your Head Down" begins lightly with acoustic guitar and emotive vocals yearning for a past love. The verse then builds dramatically with synths characteristic of the English band Keane. Lo and behold, this awesome build-up evaporates into a very anti-climatic and bland chorus. Ironically, the subsequent choruses are very intense and the band manages to capture an anthemic, indie rock sound. - Songbirdar.com

“Happy Ending are here to make you feel, with Lennon-esq vocals and instrumentation that lends diversity. What works best with “Turn It On” is to do just that.” - S.O.U.L. Magazine


"Words of Praise from Composer Gerald Busby ( Robert Altman films)"

Dear Fellows,

I'm enjoying your Happy Ending CD very much. Thanks so much for it. I've listened three times and will listen more. Your use of the human voice as an instrument no more or less prominent than any of the other sounds is terrific, and you use the words texturally as well as connotatively. I really like that. Wonderful variety and surprises, the best of which is the very end of God of the Gaps -- "no reason." Tiny Speakers is probably my favorite, although I hear lots of things in the other songs that engage me more every time I hear them. In Just Your Style the polytonal reverberations seem to mimic the way I'm hearing your music. And the tonal progression of the five songs -- G, D, C, F, G -- is very satisfying to me, old tonal freak that I am. Congratulations. I know that more of what you're doing will sink into my consciousness over time. It's charming music.
