Track Review
Röyksopp Happy Up Here [Wall of Sound]
- Text:
- DS
The new album’s coming soon. In the meantime, entertain yourself with this track, quite literally the most insanely joyous tune released since the term ‘credit crunch’ became well known. It sounds like the theme from a claymation cartoon and makes you want to play on a trampoline.
