The third album from Fridge, "Happiness," finds the band further refining their signature sound of interlocking guitar lines and propulsive rhythms, creating a more cohesive and expansive listening experience than their previous work.
- Recorded at Black Barn Studios in Surrey with producer Adam Yelland, "Happiness" marked a slight departure towards a more structured, song-oriented approach for the band. The album was released on CD and vinyl by Temporary Residence Ltd. in September 2001. It did not chart on the UK Albums Chart.
- The release of "Happiness" was preceded by the single "Shave," which received some airplay on college radio in the US and UK. The band toured extensively in support of the album throughout late 2001 and early 2002.
- Fridge disbanded in 2003, with members going on to various projects including Theymers, K HttpClient, and Olympic Swimmers. "Happiness" is often cited by fans as one of their most accessible yet representative works.
Fridge was a British indie rock band formed in the early 1990s, known for their intricate, looping guitar work and complex rhythms. At the time of "Happiness," they were three albums into their career, solidifying their reputation within the UK's post-rock and experimental music scenes.
