Happy People by Peace

The title track of Peace's second album, this was penned by Harry Koisser on tour in Australia. He told NME: "You can tell from the atmosphere of it that it's not a happy song – it's not like Pharrell's 'Happy.'"
Producer Jim Abbiss recorded the drums for this song onto vinyl, then taped the turntable playing the drums. According to Koisser, this was for "a bit of analogue warmth."
