Der Multiinstrumentalist MARK DEUTROM veröffentlicht die erste Single "The Happiness Machine" aus dem kommenden Album "The Blue Bird", welches am 4. Januar 2019 über Season Of Mist veröffentlicht wird.
MARK DEUTROM dazu: "Happiness is defined as the following: pleasure, contentment, satisfaction, cheerfulness, merriment, gaiety, joy, joyfulness, joviality, jollity, glee, delight, good spirits, lightheartedness, well-being, enjoyment; exuberance, exhilaration, elation, ecstasy, jubilation, rapture, bliss, blissfulness, euphoria, transports of delight; Hollywood ending. An observation of the machinery at work, and possibly the ghost in that machine. Happiness, always being pursued is perpetually ethereal and elusive.
'in the air, on the web,
on the chain in your head'
The album is about the nature of happiness...or is it?"
