Track Description
Available in:
"Happy Up Here" is a song by Norwegian electronic music duo Röyksopp, released as a free download from their album Junior. The one-track digital single was also released in selected stores on 19 January 2009, while the physical single and digital EP with remixes were released on 16 March 2009. The song sampled Parliament's 1976 single, "Do That Stuff".
The music video, directed by Reuben Sutherland, was released online on 25 February 2009 via the band's official website, as well as on their official YouTube channel. It features panning shots of a cityscape, with floating boxes lit up by light bulbs. It is eventually made apparent that the boxes are a 3D version of the aliens featured in the old arcade classic Space Invaders and the video is subsequently played out like the game, with cars on the ground serving as the defence. The video ends when the remaining aliens retreat.
"The new Röyksopp video is a wonderful thing: Space Invaders meets Mars Attacks meets Transformers... But above all else, it's all about Reuben Sutherland, New Zealand-born master of CGI. Aliens lurk in beautiful outdoor ad hoardings, and the only one defending the world is a little Trabant-type car. But then Reuben likes cars, and roads and billboards, as he's shown with his work with Phoenix Foundation. Nobody makes an unbelievably super-real auto-metropolis quite like him."
