San Antonio’s Bright Like The Sun are sharing the monstrous “Smile Wide and Look Alive,” the second single from the quintet’s massive new self-titled sophomore record. The heaviest moment of the upcoming LP, “Smile Wide” takes a no prisoners approach to post-rock, growing bigger by the moment before swallowing everything whole with a sound reminiscent the jaws of life.
Due out on April 21 via Sun Sea Sky Productions, Bright Like The Sun create post-rock music with nuance from the crashing waves of guitars to the band’s haunting use of vocals as another instrumental layer and the inclusion of instruments not typically associated with the genre. Their music is epic, dissolving the lines between powerful and meditative, creating something that’s both brains and brawn.
