Good Sad Happy Bad

Good Sad Happy Bad is a band made up of CJ Calderwood, Raisa Khan, Mica Levi, and Marc Pell. Slinging mud on the contemporary “band sound,” the snarling art rock of Good Sad Happy Bad is at times krauty, punky, and poppy, and always driven by caustic rhythm, hypnotic melody, and an experimental, playful approach. On their sophomore album as Good Sad Happy Bad, All Kinds of Days (2024) – following up debut Shades (2020) – there is a raw, gritty, live quality to the production. Originally captured as improvised instrumental sessions, the recordings were reworked, with the group contributing vocals as haunted front-people or unreliable narrators – often coming together as a chorus of ghostly singers. Touching on themes of loss, grief, recovery, healing, home-building, and parenthood, All Kinds of Days is a sprawling masterwork dabbed in noise and texture. An unearthed, soggy thing of dirtied beauty, watch how they remould the album in a live setting at Rewire festival.
