Happy Family: Minimal Gods
Insomma un bel minestrone a volte non distante nei momenti più rilassati dagli universi sonori di band come The Muffins o Mats/Morgan Band. Nel 1997, con l'album Toscco, sempre made in Cuneiform, gli Happy Family confermano le buone intenzioni dimostrate nell'esordio e poi un lungo sonno discografico.
Fino ad oggi. La conferma che sono vivi e vegeti viene infatti da questa terza prova che vede all'opera tre membri che registrarono Toscco, Morimoto (tastiere), Izutani (chitarra elettrica), Nagasse (batteria), più una new entry rappresentata dal batterista Nagasse. La ricetta resta comunque sempre la stessa anche se adesso il quartetto sembra privilegiare atmosfere a metà strada tra il noise e il metal. Brano migliore, l'apparentemente quieta "Portal Site For Sightseeing."
