Brooklyn lounge rock band, Looms, are set to release their debut album entitled "Waking Days," and we are streaming here their first single, “Happiness.” The title is actually deceitful, since the song depicts happiness as the façade in a relationship. This is actually a break up tune, which comes in gentle on keyboards (electric piano is a signature sound here), then aggressively builds up in tension, exploding in a chorus filled with louder guitar power chords and vocals. The soul/rock-influenced quartet, which underwent a name change recently, has been at it since 2012 and plans on forging through 2015 with "Waking Days" in tow. – Robert Frezza
