Armon Jay - The Dark Side of Happiness (2020)

For Armon Jay’s third and latest solo effort, aptly titled The Dark Side of Happiness, the burgeoning auteur took matters into his own hands, writing, recording, arranging, engineering and producing every song, and playing virtually every instrument at his home studio in Franklin, TN.

On his new album, Armon has turned his crisis of faith – all that anxiety, frustration, neuroses, self-doubt and compulsive behavior – into art, yet another step on his ongoing artistic journey. The Dark Side of Happiness isn’t just personal, but intimately so, a quiet record with subtle dynamics, but emotionally intense, almost as if we’re privy to Armon’s conversations with his conscience.
