The Knocks-assisted "Happy If You're Happy" remix is the third rendition of the track released by Matt and Kim this year. The group shared an extended album version with New York-based artist Skizzy Mars earlier this fall.

Matt and Kim will also be headed out on a three month winter tour beginning today (December 4). They'll play two dates this month, first kicking off in Portland, where they will consequentially share the bill with The Knocks at The Crystal Ballroom. The band will then start back up after the new year on January 26 in Philadelphia. The run of shows will conclude in February after a number of stops in Florida. Check those tour dates below.

Similarly, The Knocks will tour the country through the new year up until March. Check out those dates and tickets here.
