I just listened to a couple of tunes. I think generally "Wake the World" is a song that could become something of an indie-standard. It fits so well in that category imo. Nice performance with some new elements! And it may sound silly but I really like the cymbal sound on "The easy Way out". It has just the right amount of laid-backness.  Smiley Kinda reminds me of some of Tony Joe White's recordings from the 2010s.
Thanks!!!!  3D Cool

Contains 4 bonus tracks...an alternate mix of "Boiled for Safety", an outtake called "Inner Demons",  a new remake of a song from 2002 called "The Underground Lab", and an unreleased 2002 song called "Happiness" (written for a college assignment...I got a D- on it btw)

Hi, fellow SmileySmilers!!
Our newest album " A Strange Turn of Events" is now available on Bandcamp! This new album it’s unlike anything we’ve done before (well, in a good way hahaha) and it features a sweet/cool mixture of some dance music and some odd but cool ambiental stuff.

"A Strange Turn of Events" , our 6th full length album of 2020, finds us living up to its title by taking the listener on the most unexpected of music journeys.... "

Stream it now! (Please  Grin): https://fear2stop.bandcamp.com/album/a-strange-turn-of-events

13  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: What actually happened to Dennis' aborted solo album in '72? on: August 12, 2020, 02:07:12 PM
Angry sea cruise doesn't sound like it was recorded by Dennis in 1971. Vocal seemed much too rough for what his voice sounded like at that time on sunflower. Sounds more like 76-77ish.
the 1971 version was a quick rough attempt done by Dennis and that version remains unreleased, the 1975-76 version was a new recording.
14  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: What actually happened to Dennis' aborted solo album in '72? on: August 12, 2020, 01:29:20 PM
Cuddle Up, Make It Good and Only With You succeeded the solo album sessions, Lady and Sound of Free preceded them (you could maybe count Sound of Free, but Lady is a Sunflower outtake). The only one of those from the batch is Barbara. An embryonic version of Cuddle Up exists, albeit called Ol' Movie and it isn't exactly the same piece of music.

Material from those sessions (1971, not '72), mostly unfinished:
- Fourth of July
- Barnyard Blues
- Ol' Movie
- Ecology
- Barbara
- Live Again
- Behold the Night
- It's a New Day
- Hawaii Song
- Before
- I've Got a Friend
- Baby Baby
- Sea Cruise
the version of Barnyard Blues is only piano demo recorded in 1971, the actual/final product was recorded in 1974.
15  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: What actually happened to Dennis' aborted solo album in '72? on: August 12, 2020, 01:27:34 PM
Wasn't Sea Cruise a 15 Big Ones production?
Yes and no, this is a rough attempt done by Dennis in 1971-ish (and he doesn't even knows the words/lyrics) it was just a rough jam session attempt.
16  Non Smiley Smile Stuff / Smiley Smilers Who Make Music / Re: At World’s End on: July 06, 2020, 03:12:06 PM

17  Non Smiley Smile Stuff / Smiley Smilers Who Make Music / Re: TWO brand new singles just released on: June 21, 2020, 07:18:08 PM
Double the fun!

First up is "Ramifications" (written by Dana Castillo). It's electronic like you'd expect from us, although this time it's a bit different...more smooth and hypnotic. It'll be the lead track from our upcoming album "Hidden Intentions".

https://fear2stop.bandcamp.com/album/ramifications

The other, "Faraway" is nothing like you've ever heard on a Fear 2 Stop album, with absolutely breathtakingly beautiful keyboard and piano from the insanely talented Dean Entwistle. It will follow Ramifications on the album, and is an absolute must listen...trust me

https://fear2stop.bandcamp.com/track/faraway



Stay tuned for news on "Hidden Intentions" coming soon....
Yeah, give it a listen!!! Hidden Intentions will be something big!!!!

Anytime!

Just released a new song... we’ll be putting out a new album shortly

http://fear2stop.bandcamp.com/track/animate
As i commented you before on your Animate thread, this song is so amazing and reminds me to a way-cooler My Solution.
I'm looking forward to listen to that amazing album!
23  Non Smiley Smile Stuff / Smiley Smilers Who Make Music / Re: Animate on: May 22, 2020, 08:30:34 PM
Here's our new single (from our upcoming album Dance of the Dead) Animate. We went for our usual blend of sci-fi horror influenced sounds, but this time our Brian Wilson influence is a bit more readily apparent.

Hope you guys enjoy it!

http://fear2stop.bandcamp.com/track/animate
Cool sound Billy! this track has an amazing chord progression and it kind of reminds me to My Solution, the organ and the synthy sounds are more than cool and the brief sleigh bells add a cool effect to the track, amazing job!!!
24  Non Smiley Smile Stuff / Smiley Smilers Who Make Music / Re: In Quarantine Vol. I by Dean Entwistle on: May 22, 2020, 08:26:49 PM
^ Awesome....will check it out later on today.

Also I just about finished the koto track I was working on Cool
new album: https://deanentwistle.bandcamp.com/album/sounds-of-quarantine!
Cool, i want to listen that cool track!
25  Non Smiley Smile Stuff / Smiley Smilers Who Make Music / Re: In Quarantine Vol. I by Dean Entwistle on: May 20, 2020, 07:42:08 PM
Dude this is INCREDIBLE....especially Cry of the Moon. I can definitely hear the Brian influence on regards to the chord progression. Absolutely beautiful. My wife and I are stunned listening right now
Thanks mate!! Yes, the Wilson-esque and Bacharach-esque influences are so dominant on that track, I will try to record a piano only album with that kind of feeling, thanks man!!!!

Btw, i have uploaded the final volume of "Kotos of Madness". Link: https://deanentwistle.bandcamp.com/album/kotos-of-madness-iii
