Description
A half-bar snare drag into the last chorus of Hard to Laugh still lands like a wink. The Pursuit Of Happiness’s 1988 debut, Love Junk, is here in a Deluxe 2LP, sharpened by Todd Rundgren’s ear for hooks. I’m an Adult Now bites with crunchy guitars and deadpan confessionals, while She’s So Young shimmers on chiming guitars and stacked harmonies. On this pressing the low end sits deeper and imaging opens up, letting those blended girl-boy vocals bloom without midrange glare. Hard to Laugh hits harder too, the drums tight and the guitars cut cleanly.
File it next to Cheap Trick and other late-80s power pop that balances muscle with wit. If you’d prefer to order from home, you can buy The Pursuit Of Happiness records online with us. Still a staple at small Melbourne gatherings and late drives, it’s a record that speaks plainly and loudly. Rundgren’s production keeps the sarcasm sweet and the choruses explosive. Smart, tuneful, and made to be played loud and sung along to.
We make it easy to buy The Pursuit Of Happiness records online or pick up a copy in our Melbourne record shop.
