The Lion And

bass by Alex Oates, mastered by Leon Dufficy.

always felt much heavier
when the weight fell to the coloured earth
and we came like our rolling dice
fell still upon a growing tide

we always say, well what would you say
if they ask us out right for a modern way
to be caught up in a falling time 
worn like 
everything was born unkind
but nothing’s ever born unkind

i wholly felt to bury your name
in the sweet light cast in a loving way
would be only like a blue lit sky
found the same in every single eye

if we breath in fast if we never exhale
if it all just stops in the modern way
to be fossils of a soul in time
held when
everything was born unkind
but nothing’s ever born unkind

maybe all that past is a heavier weight

but we cannot pause for a second to think
and can’t dip our hands in passing stream
where it’s cold enough to soothe our minds
tell us nothing’s ever born unkind
unless some of us are born unkind

a modern weight

Wake Up

It's the return of the Bright Smoke. When we last heard from the Brooklyn duo, Terrible Towns, their sophomore full-length, had just been released. Four years later, Mia Wilson and Quincy Ledbetter storm back with the forthcoming Gross National Happiness (July 5). It's a little harder and in response to our current political times, a little angrier. The Bright Smoke wouldn't have it any other way. In addition to a joint interview, this episode features a separate conversation with Quincy discussing both his recent solo piano album as Q.Ledbetter, Five Improvisations, and his forthcoming feature-length directorial debut, Alieu the Dreamer, which won BET’s Project CRE8 competition. [This episode features The Bright Smoke’s “Again Again” and Q.Ledbetter’s “Three Nights Adrift” in their entirety.]

The River

The Bright Smoke began as the creation of Brooklyn-based musicians, Mia Wilson & Quincy Ledbetter before expanding into a four piece in 2015. It's a sound that blends indie rock and ambient experimentation with lyrics that your parents would approve of if your parents are DTF.
