Following the release of his debut record in 2012, Lionheir returns with the announcement of his second record ‘Dangerous Happiness’ by way of new single ‘What You Want’. The musical brainchild of Paul Appelkamp, Lionheir’s first long player was more a studio affair, being recorded entirely in Lionheir’s hometown of Byron Bay at the revered 301 Studios.
Taking a more DIY approach on his latest effort, Lionheir’s latest work was predominantly recorded in the confines of a home studio, allowing the talented artist to experiment with darker themes and more personal lyrical content without forgoing the indie rock/pop bravado of his earlier work. With added assistance from Appelkamp’s musically gifted friends Grant Gerathy and Joel Burton, mixing by Jordan Power (Angus Stone, The Temper Trap) and mastering courtesy of William Bowden (Gotye), Lionheirs latest work shows an artist primed for sonic evolution.
