Something Corporate continues to have a massive year in 2024.  Last month the band released “Death Grip” their first new music in over 20 years, announced their reunion tour Out of Office  Tour, their first tour in over 20 years with the original lineup and today have released “Happy” which is the latest release by Something Corporate and Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness. 

​

“I wrote ‘Happy’ toward the end of the pandemic,” shares McMahon. “There was this sense that we were all coming out of this strange moment collectively and I wanted to write something that reflected that. There was this aching for normalcy, a humble kind of happiness where you could just be, without confronting a four-alarm fire every other day. Years later I think that sentiment still makes a lot of sense. For me, the magic of this song is in the visuals and vignettes of everyday life in my weird little beach town and the return to a production style that includes super distorted guitars. There’s something in the message of ‘Happy’ and in its lyrical and aesthetic ties to Southern California that always made it feel like a Something Corporate song. I’m glad I held it back from the last Wilderness record and that it ended up at home in the studio with Brian, Will, Josh and Clutch.”

Something corporate will resume their sold-out Out of Office Tour next month on August 22nd in Washington, DC.  Dates and info for the tour can be found here.
