Almost Cool
While Happiness never gets up and rocks, it's solid from beginning to end.
80
New Musical Express
Easily their finest record yet, a genre-shrugging masterpiece of delicate musicianship and warm feeling.
80
Dot Music
Nine fantastically-detailed, delicately-constructed and warm-sounding pieces that are far too slippery to fall into neat genre parameters.
80
Playlouder
Distant connections are subconsciously weaved into an undulating whole that fans of electronica, Tortoise and Mogwai will all appreciate - at least in parts.
77
Pitchfork
Part vibraphone-laden, Chicago-style post-rock, part electronic minimalism, and part pure melodic exploration, Happiness occasionally manages to slip into an immensely blissful groove.

Nude As The News
Fridge seem to have a knack for making odd organic instruments fit tightly with electronic gurgles and glitches. But don't be fooled, ladies and gentlemen, their new long-player Happiness is a rock album through and through.
