Happiness

London, England's Fridge are no strangers to critical and fanatical praise. Ever since their inception and debut release in 1997, the powerful young trio has grown up and expanded, as an eager audience and a fickle British press waited for them to stumble over their success and prove to be just another flash in the pan. With the release of their fourth and most highly anticipated album, "Happiness," the band exhales and raises the bar yet again. Fusing the cluttered electronic textures that dominated their last masterpiece, "Eph," with the ambitious energy of their earlier albums, Fridge have created one of the most breathtaking instrumental rock albums to ever come from the other side of the Big Pond. Lest we forget that guitarist Kieran Hebden also spends a lot of his time turning heads and shaking asses as electronic sensation, Four Tet.
