Los Angeles duo Deap Vally make a welcome return with the first track to be released from their forthcoming second album Femejism. ‘Smile More’ rides on a laconic vibe of half-purred, half-growled vocals, reverb laden three chord verses and a rollicking chorus riff and is backed by visuals shot on director Nina Ljeti’s phone from around the LA neighbourhoods where they recorded and mixed the album.
Femejism, produced by Yeah Yeah Yeahs guitarist Nick Zinner, is released on 16th September.
