Happy was Machine translations fifth album and their second on Spunk Records, following 2001’s Bad Shapes. It includes the song “She Wears A Mask” which received a lot of airplay around Australia, and, as a reviewer wrote, “one that everybody loved; a wistful track that’s beautiful, simple and catchy.”

If you could sum up Happy in two words, they would be weird and wonderful. The New York Times described it as a "precious mix of light orchestration, inward-gazing songwriting and post-rock experimentation".

In mid-2019 Spunk Records released the album on vinyl for the first time and the cd is also available from them as well. Half A Cow has been put in charge of getting Happy up there in the digital age. Follow the links!
