Constant Smiles – Moonflowers (2025) Review by Heather Phares: For years, the most consistent thing about Constant Smiles was their name. Singer/songwriter Ben Jones surrounded himself with shifting collaborators and sounds that spanned Lost's moody outbursts, Paragons' folk-pop, and Kenneth Anger's shimmering electronics. Given that history, Moonflowers' musical and emotional openness comes as a surprise -- but a welcome one. The album's search for connection and growth is reflected in Constant Smiles' own trajectory: Late in 2022, drummer Nora Knight joined Jones and longtime bassist Spike Currier, completing the band's first-ever permanent lineup. This stability has done wonders. Bolstered by warm, immediate production, Moonflowers' sophisticated yet lived-in songs bloom as they balance acceptance and discovery. On "Allowed to Be," Jones flickers between doubt and hope, worrying "that I'm not enough" before finding hard-won serenity on its choruses. Written by Knight, "Harriman" is another standout: over brass that glows like sunbeams, guest vocalist Wednesday Knudsen repeats "I am trying so hard/To be a better person," gaining mantra-like strength with every turn. Though Moonflowers' largely acoustic instrumentation complements its vulnerability perfectly, it's also artful enough to lend grace to confessions that could feel awkward in less skilled hands. On “I Know Your Name,” Constant Smiles meld strings and synths as smoothly as they navigate the album's complicated moods. The band's use of light and shadow, intimacy and space, and powerful softness make comparisons to Nick Drake and Talk Talk apt, while "In Place of Time" and "Everything Is Personal" rival If You’re Feeling Sinister-era Belle and Sebastian when it comes to pop that's heartwarming and bittersweet in equal measure. Vestiges of Constant Smiles' goth leanings linger in how naturally they embrace difficult feelings on the aching "When You're Gone" or the ghostly, late-night reflections of "Running Out on Life," but they end the album with something close to optimism. As the rippling guitars of "Time Measured in Moonflowers" give way to a galaxy of synths and strings, it sounds like an awakening; when Jones sings “let the sky swallow me whole,” it's as if he's falling in love with possibilities of ends and beginnings. After years of wandering, Constant Smiles sound reborn. An album that feels like a secret worth sharing, Moonflowers is an elegant, empathetic balm for this time, and for all time. — allmusic.com Track List: 01 - Introduction (Song for Geoff) 02 - Leave It at Why 03 - Allowed to Be 04 - Everything Is Personal 05 - Harriman 06 - In Place of Time 07 - When You’re Gone 08 - Run Out on Life 09 - I Know Your Name 10 - Time Measured in Moonflowers Media Report: Genre: dream-pop, indie-folk Origin: Queens, New York, USA Format: FLAC Format/Info: Free Lossless Audio Codec Bit rate mode: Variable Channel(s): 2 channels Sampling rate: 44.1 KHz Bit depth: 16 bits Compression mode: Lossless Writing library: libFLAC 1.3.0 (UTC 2013-05-26) Note: If you like the music, support the artist
