Constant Smiles

New York's Constant Smiles forged a path all their own, gradually evolving from an amorphous collection of highly conceptual ideas into their Felte debut Moonflowers, a subtle masterpiece of internally-born ambient pop. A dense fabric of subdued acoustic instruments, understated strings, electronic undercurrents, and soft-touch performances all serve songs about the feelings that happen before you have time to think. In this fully arrived form, Constant Smiles taps into something instinctive, an atmosphere of stillness with microscopic parts that never stop moving, and songs that are nearly transparent but still somehow heavier than a mountain. -Fred Thomas
