The track follows the release of ‘Motorbike (Wild Ones)’ from last month
While some might argue that social media is something that has been great for bringing people together, a large amount would also argue that it’s been something that has driven people apart, with people often feeling more isolated than ever in a sea of people faking their success, their happiness, and projecting a simulated version of what they want their life to look like.
This is explored on ‘Fake a Happy Face!’, the latest new single from expansive and lauded alternative pop trio Smallpools. Their emphatic and energetic appeal is encapsulated on the vibrant new release, a track that dissects the difficulty of separating social media from real life, while longing for some kind of fresh start and escape from everything around you. This multi-faceted charm as well as their intensely catchy, cathartic allure ensures that the band feel as interesting and exciting as ever on their latest single, reaffirming their staying power and guile time and time again.
“‘Fake a Happy Face!’ is about yearning to escape, to start over, lying in bed with the weight of the world upon you. There are so many mixed emotions that switch on a dime. Everything’s great and everything sucks. ‘Fake a Happy Face!’ and keep on cruising the best you can,” adds Smallpools.
