Magnetic alt-pop trio Smallpools share another taste of their forthcoming project Ghost Town Road (east), the first part in a two-part album release, with the fuzzed-out, sing-a-long track “Fake a Happy Face!”
Together, Mike Kamerman, Sean Scanlon, and Beau Kruther poignantly unpack the difficulty of separating social media from real life. The catchy cathartic track encapsulates the band’s signature sound while delving into new emotional depths.
Smallpools said this about the track:
‘Fake a Happy Face!’ is about yearning to escape, to start over, lying in bed with the weight of the world upon you. There are so many mixed emotions that switch on a dime. Everything’s great and everything sucks. ‘Fake a Happy Face!’ and keep on cruising the best you can
“Fake a Happy Face!,” joins recent releases “Motorbike (Wild Ones)” and “Night Shift” which will appear on part one of the new album, the four-song Ghost Town Road (east), out April 5th. Arriving in two parts, Ghost Town Road was written and recorded at Mike Kamerman’s house in Los Angeles, with collaborations from colin creeV of Third Eye Blind and Mitchy Collins of lovelytheband.
