Smiles Of Earth, 2022
Written by Lachlan Rose
Singer Lachlan Rose's warm, flexible baritone strikes you first, but that great ascending horn line gives the song its power. Rose's sparkling synths, the horns, and a chorus of voices all blend into a gospel-like swell, reminding me a little of the Polyphonic Spree. The lyrics are impressionistic: "Just one grain of your sugar / Would sweeten the ocean / Then the rain on my window / Would sweeten my day," but the chorus sets a scene. Someone important to the narrator is leaving, but the narrator is stoic about it, even proud of the difficult step. The group's cumbersome name is taken from that amazing opening monologue in American Beauty.
