I Want That You Are Always Happy

Highly anticipated 2011 debut album from this Australian music collective. Following up on their EP the Recordings of The Middle East, The Middle East are known for their excellent take on everything from chamber pop to psych folk. The album was recorded between tours at three studios: Mark Myers' Townsville studios in early 2010, Midlake's Denton Studios in Texas in March and Cairns' Funhouse Studios at the end of the year. It was recorded with the aid of Myers (who recorded, mixed and co-produced the album).
