Smut has opened on national tours for Bully, Swirlies, Nothing, and most recently, WAVVES. For their latest project, Smut picks apart a mass of emotions\u2014grief, fear, depression\u2014and uncovers a pulse of hope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>How the Light Felt <\/em>takes a turn from Smut\u2019s first LP <em>End of Sam-Soon <\/em>(2017), when heavy riffs and grungier vocals held the band\u2019s sound in a grittier plane. Their latest record highlights Smut\u2019s progression over the past five years, taking more cues from dream pop and embracing bright, electric shoegaze tones reminiscent of Cocteau Twins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The track, \u201cAfter Silver Leaves,\u201d encapsulates one of the album\u2019s recurring themes of finding comfort in unkind people. True to the lyrics \u201cFeeling rebellious, feeling gigantic,\u201d the song creates a euphoric blend of guitar riffs, synthesizers, and sparkling vocals.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cLet Me Hate\u201d takes a moodier tone, indulging in the deepest grief explored on the album. Vocalist Tay Roebuck is candid about the death of her sister, and the intense anger that is relegated only to her dreams. \u201cUnbroken Thought\u201d plays with electric trills similar to old flip phone ringtones. The chorus forms an eerie, desperate call: \u201cStay awhile, I\u2019ve been so lonely.\u201d Smut never sinks too low, grasping onto a glimmer of optimism, or at the very least, sonic irony.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Other tracks like \u201cSoft Engine\u201d and \u201cSupersolar\u201d stand out as single-worthy. As the first song on the album, \u201cSoft Engine\u201d breaks into a head-bopping beat, complete with record scratches and droning guitar. Set against punchy drums, \u201cSupersolar\u201d unleashes an effervescent melody that begs for a dance partner.\u00a0\u00a0<br><em>How the Light Felt <\/em>is an album designed for tireless replay. Pairing tragic lyrics with zippy electric tones, Smut spins forgotten \u201890s sounds into new cloth. What carries through all ten tracks is a tingling fervor, like your breath on a frosted car window, nostalgia for dark moments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 350px; height: 786px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=2688090117\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=7137dc\/transparent=true\/\" seamless><a href=\"https:\/\/smutonline.bandcamp.com\/album\/how-the-light-felt\">How the Light Felt by smut<\/a><\/iframe>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On their sophomore LP How the Light Felt, the five-piece, Chicago outfit, Smut, delivers an invigorated take on familiar \u201890s sounds.
