Post-punk duo Death Bells have taken a more dream-pop approach with their new single, “A Different Kind of Happy.” Reminiscent of Good Nature era Turnover, the song is tranquil and optimistic, choosing simplicity over the complex nature of everything: “Despite the uncertainty of life / I wouldn’t give / I wouldn’t give up.” It’s a preview into their forthcoming album, New Signs of Life.
“This song conveys a feeling of bliss,” the band said of the track in a press statement. “It was written last year—there were a couple of fleeting moments where everything felt like it was in it’s right place. It was awesome. Obviously times are different now but we still have a lot to be thankful for, and our optimism remains intact.”
This single follows the catchy “Heavenly Bodies” and the meditative title track. New Signs of Life comes out September 25 via Dais Records, and it’s available for pre-order here. Watch the video for “A Different Kind of Happy” below.
