Smoke Fairies - Smoke Fairies

Review by Amanda Farah

A record of future potential, rather than wasted potential.»

limited copies of the CD and LP come with a Rough Trade exclusive bonus CD featuring five instrumentals. Smoke Fairies' outstanding new album, the eponymously titled Smoke Fairies, shows the band in top form, combining their classic approach whilst exploring new forms of musical expression. Now on Full Time Hobby, Smoke Fairies wanted to make an album that wasn't simply recorded live, but rather presented songs that were pored over, puzzled-out, polished and produced. The result is a collection of dense, textured and sonically-rich songs which show off how far the band have come since their debut back in 2011.
