Full Audiotree has been released and it is great as expected. Just bought tickets to see Smidley again... they are opening for Home is Where!

Farewell, Table Rock Antichrist, In Poor Taste, and Here Comes The Devil are all unexaggerated 5/5 songs.



Can't help but feel like this got slept on. Not on Sputnik per se, just generally speaking nobody seems to know about this.

no it’s for sure slept on. Even in STL Foxing comes damn close to selling out whatever venue they play.



Smidley played the duck room and there was probably less than fifty people there after putting out an album that’s about as good as Nearer My God

Yeah, you'd think the Foxing crowd would latch onto Smidley. Maybe they just don't know about it.

especially shocking considering Conor was literally at the merch table back in December selling the Smidley record. You’d think people would stop to say hi or something and wonder what that LP is.

"i should def try this again, really liked the first album and love Conor/Foxing to death but I remember not liking this very much at all"



You're not alone. I find this incredibly bland-sounding on the whole. Totally lacks the oomph of NMG, the atmosphere and moodines of Dealer, or the playful poppiness of DDTM. There's just nothing for me to really latch onto outside of the opener and In Poor Taste. I love Foxing specifically because of how damn infectious their hooks are and how experimental song of their songwriting is, and I think here Conor is trying to commit more to a concept, it's just one I find unconvincing.

Was just thinking about this album yesterday. Maybe time to throw it on again.
