Happy Accidents was formed in Southampton in 2013 by siblings Neil (bass) and Rich Mandell (guitar and vocals), and Phoebe Cross (drums and vocals).[2]

After releasing an EP and a split 7" on Don't Ask Records in 2014, and relocating to London, the band signed to Alcopop! Records and released their debut album You Might Be Right on 1 July 2016.[3][2][1]

Their second LP Everything But The Here and Now was released on 16 February 2018, also by Alcopop! Records. It was recorded with Matthew "MJ" Johnson of Hookworms at his studio Suburban Home.[1][4]

Neil Mandell left the band amicably in 2019, to focus on other things.[2] The band have continued as a duo.

The third Happy Accidents album, Sprawling, was released on 29 May 2020.[5] It was self-produced, and released on vinyl and digital download by the band, without a label, via Bandcamp.com.
