Smokey Brights' latest album, No Sheer Force of Will Silhouettes, is a captivating blend of indie rock and pop that showcases the band's versatility and creativity. The 10-track album features a mix of upbeat, danceable tunes and introspective ballads that highlight the band's musical prowess and lyrical depth.
From the opening track, "Come to Terms," the album sets a high bar for itself, with its infectious melodies and catchy hooks. The band continues to deliver on this promise throughout the album, with standout tracks like "In Demand" and "Everything's Changing" showcasing their ability to craft memorable, relatable songs that stick with the listener long after the album is over.
One of the strengths of No Sheer Force of Will Silhouettes is the band's willingness to experiment with different sounds and styles. For example, "Waste My Time" features a driving, almost punk-inspired beat that contrasts nicely with the more laid-back, dreamy vibe of "Never Have I Ever." This willingness to take risks and push boundaries is what sets Smokey Brights apart from other indie rock bands.
