Good Sad Happy Bad w/ Fine and Last Path

Good Sad Happy Bad is a band composed of CJ Calderwood, Marc Pell, Mica Levi, and Raisa Khan. Their whimsical kraut punk and art rock experiments, brimming with mantras and cycles and nervous lullabies, bring the listener into wobbly landscapes and toward spiralling epiphanies.

Good Sad Happy Bad returns with their second album, All Kinds of Days (2024), following their 2020 debut, Shades. This new release deepens the band’s collaborative approach, building on instrumental improvisations that each member reworks with vocal contributions, creating a dynamic, shared storytelling experience. Throughout the album, the four musicians frequently unite in lush, layered choruses, and meandering guitars that add a communal resonance.

All Kinds of Days delves into themes of loss, grief, recovery, healing, keeping a house together, and the challenges of parenthood, all set against a moody, intricate soundscape. Listeners are pulled through eerie guitar lines, spoken word, ghostly woodwinds, and gritty electronic textures, all disguised within a framework of an unconventional “band” sound. Beneath these atmospheric layers lies a rhythmic foundation of drums and nuanced melodies that lend drive and an unsettling beauty to the album’s sound.

Fine is a singer-songwriter and producer from Denmark who released her debut solo album Rocky Top Ballads on Escho in 2024.

Her songs are hazily beautiful creations - fragile, intimate but confident - and feature her effortless vocal lines floating above sample-based production, electronics and traditional instrumentation inspired by her childhood love of folk and country music.
