We recently had the opportunity to check out the debut album “Golden” from Happy Landing , a indie folk band formed in Oxford, Mississippi in 2020 by Matty Hendley (guitar/vocals), Keegan Christensen (keys/bass/vocals), Jacob Christensen (drums/vocals), Andrew Gardner (violin/mandolin/vocals), and Wilson Moyer (bass/guitar/vocals).

The group pioneers a new style of “edgy, folky rock,” captivating audiences across the US with their energetic live shows and fresh sound, blended from the roots of indie rock, folk, and punk.  

In 2024, following a successful year of touring with notable bands like The Head and The Heart, Judah & the Lion, and The 502’s, the band is set to release and tour their first full-length album  and make their debut at major festivals and venues around the country.

Happy Landing has brilliantly crafted a record full of indie folk gems . The opening track “Lose The Gun” is a beautiful example of master storytelling. Happy Landing are not only a band of gifted players, but the storytelling and song crafting is truly next level. “let Me Out” is full of world class melodies and harmonies we were smitten immediately.

“Mountain Mama” is one of those songs that is next to impossible not to sing along with .

“Golden” is truly a treasure trove of amazing music. There is not a bad song among the bunch .

On an album it is next to impossible to pick a favorite song but , if we had to it would with out question be “Like That” perfectly written and performed with flawless vocals.

“Golden” from Happy Landing is one of those records that you remember long after the music stops .
