UK rockers TOVA have released their debut EP Happy Music For Sad People.
“Happy Music For Sad People began as a way to help cope. Throughout the last 13 months these songs have given us a place to escape into. I desperately wanted the lyricism of ‘Happy Music For Sad People’ to take me to a place so far removed from real life that I couldn’t possibly think about my own issues, however, it did not work. What happened instead was that I created a narrative in which I could challenge my depression and addiction and personify these problems as characters in an on-going story,” says Jack from the band.
“It is my hope that Happy Music For Sad People can further challenge the stigma surrounding mental illness and break down toxic-masculinity that plagues men and destroys the lives of themselves and the people around them.”
To celebrate, the band have also shared a music video for lead track Land Of The Living.
Happy Music For Sad People is available to stream or purchase HERE.
TOVA will play a sold-out headline show at The Fiddler in London on 15th October 2021.
