Our Take

DUSTIN BENTALL & THE SMOKES' latest offering, "Orion You Are An Island," feels like a refreshing breeze on a scorching summer day. Bentall's raspy vocals effortlessly captivate listeners, while The Smokes' melodic accompaniment adds layers of complexity to each track.

From the opening chords of "Stars," it's clear that this album is a sonic journey through the realms of folk, rock, and indie. The whimsical lyrics invite you to get lost in a dreamlike state, as if you were floating through the cosmos alongside Orion himself.

Tracks like "Waves" and "Islands" showcase Bentall's songwriting prowess, with poignant lyrics that cut straight to the heart. The hauntingly beautiful melodies are reminiscent of a campfire sing-along under a starry night sky, creating an intimate and immersive listening experience.

As the album progresses, the energy picks up with anthemic tracks like "Rivers" and "Mountains," where The Smokes' dynamic instrumentation really shines. The eclectic mix of acoustic and electric sounds keeps you on your toes, never quite knowing what to expect next.

Overall, "Orion You Are An Island" is a testament to Dustin Bentall & The Smokes' musical prowess and creativity. It's an album that will transport you to another world, where the only thing that matters is getting lost in the music. So grab a glass of your favourite tipple, sit back, and let yourself be whisked away on this enchanting musical journey. Cheers, darlings.
