It explores how modern life dilutes attention, erodes certainty, and turns even our happiness into a commodification. \u003cbr\u003e Musically, ‘Factoid Happiness’ is rich and varied, moving between intimate piano-led songwriting, warm indie-rock, funk-leaning grooves, disco-inflected rhythms and electronic textures. It reflects Kaktus’s background as a songwriter who has moved fluidly between underground experimentation and sophisticated pop. The LP also features contributions from John Grant, RAKEL, Thibault Gomez and Jessica Winter. \u003cbr\u003e In an era shaped by division and distraction, ‘Factoid Happiness’ argues that family (biological, chosen, romantic, or platonic) is how we stay connected and resist a in fractured world. \u003cbr\u003e “A revelatory live experience, Kaktus Einarsson wields the kind of swagger and attitude all too uncommon in this kind of music” - Stereogum\u003cbr\u003e “Breathtaking and unpredictable, imaginative and stunningly beautiful. Just like his native Iceland” - Louder Than War  “Joyful” - NME\u003cbr\u003e LP presented to independent retailers on Transparent Teal coloured vinyl.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTracklisting\u003cbr\u003eBorrowed Dreams (with Thibault Gomez)\u003cbr\u003eGlycerine\u003cbr\u003eThe Decipherer (with RAKEL)\u003cbr\u003eBurning Snow\u003cbr\u003eNew Perfume\u003cbr\u003eSituated Lovers\u003cbr\u003eFollow (with John Grant)\u003cbr\u003eAnother Feel\u003cbr\u003eLemon Taste\u003cbr\u003e3rd Time (with Jessica Winter)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"One Little Independent Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47447829250204,"sku":"TPLP2021","price":25.84,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/files\/1_825b3e52-e682-4394-b038-454b95e445f3.jpg?v=1787342854","url":"https:\/\/www.horizonsmusic.co.uk\/products\/kaktus-einarsson-factoid-happiness-lp","provider":"Horizons Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
