Our Take

Mark Kozelek and Petra Haden's collaboration on "Joey Always Smiled" is like a cup of tea on a rainy day - comforting, familiar, and a little bit bittersweet. Kozelek, known for his introspective lyrics and lush arrangements, joins forces with Haden, whose ethereal vocals add a touch of magic to the mix.

From the opening track "Joey Always Smiled," it's clear that this album is a labour of love. The duo's chemistry is palpable, with Kozelek's intricate guitar work weaving effortlessly with Haden's celestial harmonies. Tracks like "The Power of Love" showcase Haden's vocal range, while Kozelek's poetic lyrics shine on songs like "My Love for You Is Undying."

Despite its melancholic undertones, "Joey Always Smiled" is not without its moments of levity. The whimsical "Penguins in the Sky" transports listeners to a world of wonder, while the cheeky "Don't Be a Dick" serves as a gentle reminder to treat others with kindness.

Overall, Mark Kozelek and Petra Haden's collaboration is a delightful addition to both artists' discographies. "Joey Always Smiled" is a testament to the power of music to heal and uplift, a warm embrace in a world that can often feel cold and harsh. So grab a cuppa, put on this album, and let yourself be transported to a place where Joey always smiles.
