As Circa Waves drop their surprise 'Sadder Happier' EP, frontman Kieran Shuddall opens up about new music, celebrating success, inspiration, losing loved ones to COVID and life under lockdown. “It’s quite an angry EP,” says Kieran Shudall, considering Circa Waves’ surprise new five-track release ‘Sadder Happier’. “Evidently I was quite pissed off while writing these songs.
Lyrically it’s a bit more disenfranchised and talks about my issues with society, and it’s more self-deprecation of me being like ‘I’m annoyed at myself, I wish I was better’.
But it’s cathartic, it’s all good for the soul.” The frontman is taking some much-needed soul nourishment where he can get it.
