The music echoes of dreamy idealism and youthful lust, blasting along in an orgiastic fire of Rhodes-driven excess and feedback heavy guitar squalls. From the stark depictions of the lonesome detached situations in their lyrics to the crashing fervor and squalor of their choruses, the New York five piece are out to rethink expectations in sound and song alike, all the while grounding their melodies in classic pop influences. Buzzing with the energy of open-eyed youth and ambition with no end in sight. A Brief Smile, I think not.


"Instantly epic. Those are the first two words that come to mind when attempting to review A Brief Smile's stellar debut full-length, Now We All Have Horns. From the opening My Bloody Valentine-esque slow-burner, 'Escape Art', to the electrifying and downright breathtaking closing track, 'Vicious', Horns somehow manages to greatly exceed my irrefutably atmospheric expectations."
-TheMusicSlut.org


"In this effort, the precocious fivesome creates a swarming symphony of brooding guitars, reserved vocals and powerful progressions. The album's first single, Never Have The Time showcases the band's undeniable song writing abilities, and their attention to detail. "
