ABOUT

BACK WHERE IT ALL BEGAN

Happy Failure, the debut album by Antophones, was first released on CD in late 2005.
A few songs floated on Myspace and Bandpage, but the full 10-track release never found a proper digital home.
Now, Happy Failure has been re-released and is finally available on all major streaming platforms.
The radio edit of “Daniel” – the lead single from the debut – was originally mixed by renowned Danish sound engineer Carsten Heller and released for radio in January 2006. It was re-released digitally on May 30, 2025.
MORE ON HAPPY FAILURE
Antophones released their long-awaited debut album on November 14, 2005, and the record was met with a warm reception from an enthusiastic music press.

As early as January 2005, GAFFA announced the group as one of the names to watch that year. The wider music press also responded positively. Along with the title track, the single Daniel received frequent airplay on the Danish national radio stations P3 and P4, while many critics praised the indie pop album as a whole.


“Lise Blaase’s vocals are big and colorful. They range from the vulnerable and fragile to convincingly following the music in the stronger passages. Some have compared Blaase to Tori Amos, and for good reason. She masters the detailed passages in the same way…” — Undertones *****
“Definitely one of the most promising acts on the experimental pop and rock scene. Antophones is a diamond in the rough that dares to challenge the concept of pop and therefore convincingly goes beyond conformity.” — Gaffa ****
“The result is teasingly lovely. When the talent and spark of interaction are so evident, the rest of us just have to follow along and enjoy.” — BT ****
“The lyrics are well-considered, and with the simple, elegant construction and a vocal imbued with tenderness, Lise Blaase and the band breathe life into these small, sentimental pearls of song.” — Tjeck Magazine ****
“Antophones’ release offers something more than usual. It features beautiful vocals, thoughtful lyrics, and a wintry soundscape focused on the tones of the instruments and musical simplicity.” — Trekant.dk *******
“Spherical and atmospheric.” — dr.dk/musik
“With a tight and almost minimalist approach, Antophones weaves a musical whole that is anything but messy. The result is a series of intense tracks that offer plenty for the discerning listener.” — Lineout
