Dude this is so funny! Now I’m disappointed O&A never got a chance to play this on the show

I was going thru my computer and listened to a few of my unreleased Erock songs. I figured I'd post this one since it's pretty much complete and has been sitting around for about a year.  

I made this a few months after I was on the show last February. I thought I could tighten it up and perform it if they ever had me back in for a Super Show or sumptin'. Well, a year has passed and the call never came. No love lost tho! I still love the show and will always be a fan.

NEW SINGLE When We Touch streaming everywhere now: https://smarturl.it/streamwhenwetouch

Benny Smiles is an Irish synthwave/retrowave producer based in London. Favouring electronic instruments, vintage synthesisers and drum machines, his most recent work nods to M83, Neon Indian, and Com Truise. Think Stranger Things / Drive / Hotline Miami soundtracks and you’re most of the way there.

“When We Touch” marks Benny's fourth release, and is the first single from his forthcoming “Fearless Leadership” EP. It follows the "Hotline Miami 2 EP”, which is featured in the cult video game Hotline Miami 2 and in Spotify’s Retrowave / Outrun editorial playlist, both of which have helped to garner an international audience and more than 5 million streams of the EP across various platforms.

Benny’s latest material follows a period of focus on his work in studio engineering, building his knowledge of old school recording techniques and equipment in some legendary recording studios, and learning first hand from some of the world’s most renowned record producers, songwriters, and artists. Having cultivated a collection of vintage analogue synthesisers and audio processors along the way, he now returns with a newfound appreciation for sonics, analogue imperfection, and the soul that lives in electronic instruments.

Prompted by the tongue-in-cheek artwork, the most pressing question about the Fearless Leadership EP thus far has been “is your face really that small?” And the answer is... it could be.

Benny Smiles has supported artists including London Grammar and Ghostpoet, and performed at festivals including Electric Picnic, Indiependence, Castlepalooza, and Ireland Music Week.
