You can't listen to every new band that releases their first record and I am glad when sometimes a song is different to all the other releases and makes it worth to listen a second time. This seldom situation happened when Austrian radio fm4 anounced another shoegaze/psychedelic band from Vienna. As far as I know the man behind The Happy Sun, Gerhard Potuznik, is based in the low-fi scene and experienced with tape-decksdrum-computers and cheap guiatars. Now he has revitalized a guitar dominated psychedelic mix with influence of The Cure, Wire and a bit of Hüsker Dü. Namedropping - yes, but in a friendly way of knowing where his music has it's roots.
