Maria Minerva previews Will Happiness Find Me? with ‘The Sound.’

After a warped Maharishi quote, the outsider disco queen launches into a transcendental dance track with a distinct Eastern flare. Rattling drum fills punctuate a song that is powered by her haunting, layered vocals. Will Happiness Find Me? comes out on September 4 via Not Not Fun, after which Minerva will embark on a US tour; dates below (via GvB)
