Adelaide Hall |
Toronto |
ON | An engaging, improv-filled groove. Jake's Chase Bliss Blooper sets a swirling, repetitive jam early. Rolling toms from Alex at 6 min as a Mike-led groove takes shape. At 9 min, Chase Bliss Mood guitar pedal meshes within the groove. Rhythm section briefly drops out at 13 min as Jake effects continue and Dani's synths take hold. Band creates satisfying tension at 16 min between guitar effects, high-register bass, and peaceful keys. Spills back to Chest Fever vibes at 17 min. |

Terminal West |
Atlanta |
GA | Rolling drum beat after 6 min as minor key guitar sizzles. A peaky Jake re-enters Smile space before 9 min, and the band slides into a Smile swing groove as Jake introduces Mr. Silly Putty and the Halloween shenanigans begin. |

XL Live |
Harrisburg |
PA | Hits a repetitive guitar lick around 8 min; piano breaks us free and jam builds back into a full-band cooperative groove. A pretty, descending lick at 11 min as Jake pulls from the Farthest Step playbook. |

Paradise Rock Club |
Boston |
MA | After initial improvisation, the jazzy interlude after 9 min delights. Jake, Alex, and Mike get caught in a figurative vortex at 11 min amidst organ swells. Ascending guitar escapes the pull and lifts the jam into a tension-building zone. Manic energy morphs into a Bodysnatcher by Radiohead section at 15 min that will delight any and all music nerds. Catapults into fast-paced, crash cymbal-heavy, guitar-led shreddery after 18 min. |

10 Mile Music Hall |
Frisco |
CO | Doubling guitar effect at 5 min, briefly. Just guitar and quiet drums at 6-7 min as Jake employs subtle delays. Full band patience and delicacy, e.g. 8-9 min, fades to quiet feedback to tee up Must Come Down. |

Resonant Head |
Oklahoma City |
OK | Synth cacophony from Dani is unhinged, in the best way, after 6 min, alongside ripping guitar and a thumping beat. Taps the brakes ever-so-briefly at 7.5 min before rolling on with renewed intensity. Guitar and keys combine to create, and resolve, tension before 9 min. Pivots powerfully back to Smile at 10 min. |

Met, The |
Pawtucket |
RI | Hard-rocking Smile groove early grows cacophonous with Dani’s sizzling synth sears, e.g. 8 min, and Jake’s Chase Bliss Onward digital blips, e.g. 9 min. Lives in this pleasantly-disorienting space for a couple minutes before returning to Smile on a dime. |

Okeechobee Music & Arts Festival |
Okeechobee |
FL | Guitar and synth interact early, e.g. 6 min. Delicate bass touches as the jam morphs to a twangy, nighttime desert sky soundtrack by 8 min. Picks up momentum like a tumbleweed in the breeze, slowing near 10 min, then catching a figurative gust of wind via drums, synths, and engaging bass. Moog tones balloon over the groove as the band slickly returns to Smile. |
