Folk pop trio Jigzag love music. It comes through in the way they play, merrily strumming out a diverse collection of hip-swaying, foot-tapping ditties that evoke images of winter afternoons at the pub, days spent busking at Sydney's Central station and windswept, Celtic fields.

30 Seconds of Happiness is the groups second, wholly independent release. Carved out on the road during the last two years spent touring Australia's pub, cafe and festival scene, it's a lively mix of wailing harmonies and acoustic instrumentals that undoubtably go down a treat live.

Jigzag make you want to grab your mates, find a pub, then sing along, badly, after too many ales. The album title is misleading. Folk lovers, especially, will find much happiness here.
