The Happiness Project is an indie, rock and pop album by Charles Spearin on Arts & Crafts. This is the CD edition. This edition was released on February 10, 2009.
Charles Spearin is a founding member of Do Make Say Think and indie-rock collective, Broken Social Scene. His connection with BSS began in 1999 when he joined forces with Kevin Drew as KC Accidental (the name was taken from their first name initials). They began as a recording duo, releasing two instrumental albums, CAPTURED ANTHEMS FOR AN EMPTY BATHTUB and ANTHEMS FOR THE COULDVE BIN PILLS. The latter included contributions from Jason Collett, Evan Cranley (Stars), Emily Haines and James Shaw (Metric), all of whom went on to become members of Broken Social Scene. HAPPINESS PROJECT is a beautiful and unique collection of songs, blissfully blurring the lines between jazz, folk, indie rock, and inspirational improvisation. The Happiness Project will appeal to fans of: Tortoise, Jim O'Rourke, Bill Laswell and Brian Eno.
