Constant Smiles – the indie-rock collective led by Ben Jones – returns with “Time Measured In Moonflowers”, featuring Cassandra Jenkins. Brooklyn Vegan, Gold Flake Paint, and Beats Per Minute all wrote extensively about the track, which is from the upcoming LP Moonflowers. The band tracked the album with Philip Weinrobe (Big Thief, Tomberlin) at his Sugar Mountain studios in Brooklyn, NY, with a wide range of collaborators (including Shahzad Izmaily, Fred Thomas, P.G. Six, Stephen R. Smith, and more) contributing overdubs. While much of the preliminary mixing was done with Phil, I worked with Ben to tie everything together: additional recording & editing, additional mixing (including mixing two songs from scratch), and mastering the whole record. The resulting album is a beautiful departure from the synth-heavy production of the previous Kenneth Anger (on which I also worked)- more slow-core and acoustic-forward – while retaining the sweeping melodies and experimental arrangements of the past work. Check out the video below for a taste! Moonflowers is out November 7 on Felte.
