Elizabeth & The Catapult released Like It Never Happened (Scratchback Records/Thirty Tigers) this year and has been praised by the NY Times, NPR Music, Nylon, Billboard, Paste, Mother Jones and more.

Arthur says the artwork for the “Happy Pop” video is cartoony and dreamy but also gritty and Brooklyn-based. “The song is a combination of hope and resignation tied up in a perfect pop palette,” he continues. “It reminded me of Kermit the Frog hopefully singing ‘Rainbow Connection’ out in the swamp or Charlie Brown trying to kick the football, really iconic simple cartoon images of optimism in the face of obstacles and indifference. But dressed up in the pep of a happy pop song.”

“‘Happy Pop’ is about making music for the right reasons,” says front-woman Elizabeth Ziman. “For yourself, your friends, your family… not to please the powers that be. And it’s about jamming in the subway, because that’s where the song was written.” The video even features the Church Avenue platform where she spent so many hours busking.
