HMLTD – “Is This What You Wanted?”
Young London band Happy Meal LTD have just decided to abbreviate their name to HMLTD, and along with that announcement, they’ve shared their first official recorded track. It’s called “Is This What You Wanted?,” and if what you wanted was a pretty cool song, then the answer to that question is a resounding yes. Opening with a simple electronic drumbeat and sparse guitar strums, the song builds to a minimal, satisfyingly head-nodding groove occasionally interrupted by frontman Henry Spychalsk’s disaffected vocals and a few unexpected blasts of punk energy.
