jfpOne23 These ballisticaly loaded tunes purposely deny a certain closure that is intended to keep one hitting the replay button. Well played Smirk, well played. Favorite track: Mind Temp.

retrofunkzilla Real solid guitar music, great album name. Favorite track: Violent Game.

Civic Mimic so much energy, gets me pumped every spin. maybe Album of the Year Favorite track: Irrelevant Man.

ljmarks U can listen to the songs and have a great time Favorite track: S. Construction.

Art Fin I enjoyed Public Eye's two post punk LPs so far and this is a new project from their vocalist that continues roughly in a Protomartyr/Tyvek direction.

about

Hailing from Los Angeles and coated in a layer of warbled analog glory comes the debut full length album from Smirk, the solo project helmed by Nick Vicario (Public Eye, Crisis Man). These 11 meticulously crafted tracks originally appeared on two small run cassettes in 2020 and have since been remastered at North London Bomb Factory and paired with fresh artwork from Smoking Room.

A trebly & wiry punk sound comes into effect straight out of the gate, reminiscent of the early Dangerhouse Records singles as well as the “Bloodstains Across...” comps (to be more precise).
But there's far more to Smirk - with great songwriting, precision, and instrumentation that seem to emanate from a past that never was, bursting any preconceived sub-genre bubbles from this reality and those parallel to it. ‘LP’ is a tour de force of bratty, pissed off punk energy.

'LP' comes packaged in a reverse board sleeve with download code. UK/European pressing available from Drunken Sailor Records.

This album feels eternal, simultaneously feeling like it belongs anywhere and everywhere between the late '70s and today, effortlessly jumping between Devo-esque new wave and '90s indie rock with perfect results. Every single track whips ass. 10/10 AOTY. Conor

II
by Spread Joy

supported by 125 fans who also own “LP”

Funky speedy tunes that will put a large smile on your face and make you incontralably twitch until you start dancing/jumping around. Very punky and rich vocal work, with a wide variety of expressions, from sweety warm tone to sour, almost mocking voice, with crystal clear, almost ethereal or childlike moments. Tarage
