We are kicking off our first album announcement in 2023 with some very special news! Today @constant_smiles the prolific collective led by Ben Jones, announces their forthcoming album Kenneth Anger, out on March 3rd. The announcement is accompanied by the single “In My Heart” which comes with a beautiful black and white video filmed on Martha’s Vineyard, directed by @samueljeromemasonic (member of Constant Smiles who has done videos for Mac Miller, Future Islands, Sofi Tukker among many others). Over the last half decade, the music collective Constant Smiles has produced a prolific output of acclaimed music, culminating in their forthcoming record Kenneth Anger, masterfully brought to life by engineer @jonnytwoeyes (Parquet Courts, Liars, Dougie Pool). The group is known most recently for their much-praised debut album for Sacred Bones records, Paragons, an emotionally resonant offering of indie folk masterpieces that all confront the internal ways we process our struggles with intimacies, addiction and humanity – produced by @greenbergaudio Just as a Kenneth Anger film explores the underbelly of the unconscious through proto-ASMR visuals, Kenneth Anger the album conjures the underworld into a series of synth pop classics. And while the director’s use of saturated color inspired the warm ’80s synth style production, the director’s trailblazing spirit of authenticity also pushed Jones through his most vulnerable expression to date. You can now pre-order the record on Sacred Bones mail-order exclusive “Scorpio Rising” green and blue vinyl while supplies last!
