RainCityCollective.com/ - Ear to the Sound: “The musicality is technically impressive, but the songs feel very human. The lyrics are melancholy, but the EP is an uplifting sonic experience. Do this as a test: Walk down the street while listening to this EP, and see if it doesn't compel you to smile at a stranger, or feel a little lighter, or take in the world around you with a little more warmth. In summary, Happy Heartbreak reaches a new level of brilliance with a fantastic EP full of songs that could fit into any playlist. Put this music in the soundtrack of your life.”
