Dunno about happy, per se, but my favorite obscure twee and pleasant and lonely and wistful album for over a decade now is the 1995 album Glisten by a band of Southern California 4AD fans named Elysium (some of whom became the Von Trapps).
http://thevontrapps.noisychaos.com/images/Elysium-glisten400.jpg
Triangulates somewhere between the later Cocteaus and the Champaign, illinois dreampop band Area (aka Moon Seven Times). Listening to it now, perhaps the vocals are too adept and smokily alto to qualify as twee, but to be honest, I've always been a bit unclear on twee. It isn't bows and fuzzy sweater music, but it could concievably fit on the Sarah Records roster.
As I've now found through some extensive searches that its near impossible to obtain this either commercially or through less legal means, voilà: 10 DLs here or some more here.
― derelict, Tuesday, 30 December 2008 14:21 (seventeen years ago)
the two bands i picked up from this thread, gorky's and vashti bunyan, are not twee at all imo.
i am now going to give "the pastels" a shot.

Vashti Bunyan not twee? She's twee-er than a dancing mouse at a teddy bears' picnic.

the demos by the legendary creatures are nice, like Beach House meets a low rent version of Scarlet's Well? Possibly. Has someone from pas/cal in it but this has not hindered its loveliness. besides he had sense to leave before the album was released.
