What’s that lurking beneath the Christmas tree? Guest blogger Breda Doherty gives us a sneak preview of the lush sounds of a long-awaited debut album being released on Christmas Day…

Glasgow based group Happy Particles release their debut album, Under Sleeping Waves on Christmas day. The band create ambient, lush soundscapes enabled by the group’s stellar musicians, including contributing members of Remember Remember. Hopefully the album should be just as well received as Remember Remember’s second release, which came out this year. It’s been a long-awaited full-length release by Happy Particles and one which should widen their already dedicated, local fan-base.

Watch below a live version of album track Aerials.  Under Sleeping Waves also comes with a new free video of the band performing the track.

Listen to and pre-order the album on bandcamp.
