Album DescriptionAvailable in:
" Smoke Fairies" is the self-titled fourth full length album from British duo Smoke Fairies, released 14 April 2014 on the Full Time Hobby label.
After their last folky album, Blood Speaks, was released in 2012, Davies told Blamire that she didn’t know if Smoke Fairies should continue.
“I thought: ‘Is this as far as we are ever going to get? It is more like an expensive hobby – we still have day jobs,’” says Davies, . “I started to think: ‘Are we deluded – have we been dreaming? Do I have to grow up now?’. It felt like it needed to be reassessed.”
Fortunately it didn’t take Davies long to do a U-turn and realise that not making music was not an option. With renewed zest Davies and Blamire set off to a remote studio in Kent and recorded their fourth album, Smoke Fairies, enlisting the support of old touring friends, including the former Sly and the Family Stone and Roxy Music drummer Andy Newmark, to play on certain tracks.
They dropped the ethereal harmonies of their previous records and became two voices. They turned away from folk and blues to dreamy-pop, trying out synthesizers and drum loops.
