Old Happiness was kind of the first 'proper' release HI54LOFI RECORDS ever did. By 'proper' I mean it was an actual physical product and even had our logo on it, even though we didn't actually have a logo at the time (in fact, we still might not quite have a logo yet). Besides being a truly absorbing listen and fine piece of art, by a man who - despite living on the other side of the ocean- has become a dear friend, this album also feels a bit like a first born.

“This album means everything to me. As opposed to 'I dig for gold' that had poured out before I knew it, this album was MADE. I sort of knew what I wanted to tell and where I wanted to go. And the best thing: all the people I got to know during the process. The people who sang with me, who helped me put it out there, the people who listened... I feel nostalgia for 'Old happiness'.”

What Others Are Saying:

La Brujula Verde: “Como todos los años, esta vez con un poco de retraso (que hay mucho que escuchar), volvemos con nuestras recomendaciones de los discos que más nos están gustando este año”

Happy Days are Here Again: “Perchè sono solo canzoni. Raramente così semplici ed intense.”

Oddbox: “The singer of these songs easily recalls the melancholy style of late singers St Thomas or Vic Chesnutt.”

ondarock: “Anche Lieven Scheerlinck, songwriter belga di stanza a Barcellona, ha provato a fare un elenco di ricordi da cancellare.”

Slowcoustic: “The album is overflowing with ballads meant to be merely whispered to the one next to you – and we get the experience wrapped up in 13 tracks of digital storytelling”

Metro UK: “lo-fi lullaby folk that falls on the ears as gently as snowflakes”

floga - se: “Há um bocado de coisa boa aqui, embora seja preciso garimpar, porque a loucura come solta. Pra começar, o projeto de um belga, que mora em Barcelona, na Espanha, e canta em inglês.”
