Southern California’s post-hardcore stalwarts MOVEMENTS will unleash their new album Happier Now on September 4 via Fearless Records. Pre-order it here.

Now, they share the visualizer for new single Everything Is Fine.
Movements are known for discordant, angular post-hardcore but on the moody and mercurial Everything Is Fine, the band shows off its ability to craft the kind of beautiful melodies that linger for days and that directly request that you sing along. It’s a cerebral and contemplative post-punk anthem. When singer Patrick Miranda sings, “Everything is fine,” you are left to wonder: Is it, though? That’s the beauty of Movements and their new album, Happier Now. It will make you think, all the while nodding your head along to the groove.
“Everything Is Fine is one of those songs that took a while to get right,” shares Miranda. “It went through multiple different versions before we landed on this one, and it ended up being one of my favorite choruses on the record. It’s a song about anxiety, and I think fans of the earlier Movements subject matter will really enjoy this one.”
Movements will embark on a U.S. headline tour in October, with support from Balance and Composure, Midrift, and NIIS. Most recently, Movements toured Australia nationally supporting Pierce The Veil on their sold out arena run.

About Movements:
Movements are proud to announce their fourth full-length album for Fearless Records, Happier Now, with GRAMMY-winner Will Yip (Turnstile, Title Fight, Circa Survive) once again serving as producer. The result is an album that’s as expansive as it is emotional and takes Movements‘ signature sound to a heightened level that further establishes the band as scene statesmen.
“I think at first we weren’t really sure what the record was going to be,” vocalist Patrick Miranda admits. “We all had a general idea: We wanted it to bring in the early elements of our sound and blend it with the newer material like [2023’s] RUCKUS! and mesh both of those sounds.” Two of the songs that came from that initial session were the album’s first two singles: The instantly infectious anthem Dissolve Me and moody meditation Back In My Ways, which collectively acted as sonic north stars to guide the band through the recording process.
In many ways, Happier Now is a full circle moment for Movements, who are once again performing on the Warped Tour this summer and slowly becoming veterans of the community that inspired them growing up. The struggle never sounded so sweet.
