van she liefern ihre bislang unbeschwerteste und gleichzeitig präziseste arbeit ab. wie der titel schon verrät, ist >idea of happiness<, der nachfolger ihres 2008er debüts >v< (top 10 australien), mit songs wie >calypso<, >jamaica< oder >coconuts<, ein trip voller sonniger lichtfluten und flüchtiger wahrheiten. die band nahm sich reichlich zeit und muse, um das album in ruhe und bis ins letzte detail in sydney auszuproduzieren und übergab es dann zur finalen abmischung an tony hoffer aus dem sonnigen los angeles, der bereits werken von air, phoenix, m83 oder beck zu ihrem glanz verhalf.
