The vocal melody in the opener is hypnotic in its simplicity, with a contagious, repetitive charm reminiscent of Weezer’s early energy. It’s a start that immediately hooks you in.
The second track, Lullaby Blues Revisited, feels like a step into a retro dreamscape. With its vintage flair and irreverent lyrics, the song showcases the band’s refusal to adhere to convention, opting instead for pure creative expression.
This theme continues into It’s Not Easy, a track that channels ‘60s vibes with a playful nod to Elvis. Its sharp, witty lyrics paired with its throwback energy make it a standout.
It’s So Nice to Meet You amps up the pace with an exhilarating tempo and clever lyrical delivery. The band’s ability to merge quirky wordplay with vibrant instrumentation shines here, adding a visionary edge to their sound.
The slower groove of Love Ditty shifts gears, evoking the timeless croon of Frank Sinatra. The restrained percussion, with brushes on the snare, adds a touch of elegance, making it a refreshing interlude in the album’s dynamic progression.
A personal favorite, Happy Feet, channels a wild-west spirit through tremolo-laden guitar and a lively rhythm. It’s a whirlwind of vintage energy with a playful, slightly Western atmosphere, delivering pure joy from start to finish.
Closing the album is Melody Post Mortem, a track steeped in ‘70s folk tones with hypnotic vocal delivery and tremolo textures that pull you into a reflective, almost otherworldly state. It’s the perfect way to wrap up an album that’s unapologetically eclectic yet cohesive.
With Everybody Wants To See Me Happy, Angus Crowne and the Family Jewels prove they’re unafraid to take risks.
Their music thrives on unpredictability, blending humor, vintage influences, and inventive instrumentation to create an album that feels unique and alive. This is art meant to entertain, surprise, and linger long after the final note.

Inventive!
As a musician and concert producer, Angus Crowne has had the honor of working with legendary artists such as Queen, Boy George, Spacehog, and many more.
He released his first record in 2016, driven by a deep desire to keep his dreams alive as he approached middle age. His music is known for its quirky yet dynamic blend of aggression and softness, which led him to create his own unique genre: Uke-Billy Punk Rock—a style that captures the raw, universal emotions of life.
Since 2016, he and his band have performed at venues across the West Coast and completed a successful UK tour in 2019. He remains grateful to Europe for its continued appreciation of independent artists.
His fifth record, Everybody Wants To See Me Happy, is set for release in early 2025, with accompanying show dates to be announced soon.
