Brinks, Stanley - Happy New Year

Singer-songwriter and cult anti-folk troubadour, Stanley Brinks, returns with Happy New Year, a 10-song collection of lo-fi gems recorded in Berlin.

Happy New Year is a warm and celebratory record. Over simple rhythms and minimalist arrangements, Brinks delivers lyrics that oscillate between surreal humour, earnest wisdom, and playful melancholy.

Happy New Year features contributions from longtime collaborator Clemence Freschard, plus appearances from Jyoti Sekhawat, Monica Kremidi, Rachel Lipson, Irma Ignatavičiūte, and Elisa Aseva, weaving together voices from across Brinks’ musical community. Their harmonies lend the songs a communal intimacy.
