Happy to You is certainly a more upbeat release than their debut. The self-titled first release took the traditionally cheery sounds of electro-pop and injected it with some very sombre themes. Even the less than happy sounding "God Help this Divorce" has more pep and optimism than most songs off the debut.
"Pretender" stands out as a potential dance-floor hit with trance organ stabs and very complimentary oohs and ahhs. This variety of mood will only add more replay value to each album respectively.
"Archipelago" counters this by turning down the electronics slightly and allowing Ezra Koenig/Peter, Bjorn, and John vocals to ring out making them the centerpiece.
Highly enjoyable.
