Frank Smith

"Frank Smith have a sound that is as vast as America – for, like the country they come from, they reconcile countless would-be opposites as songs from the back porch country are driven straight into the noise of the city, simple folk tunes are given the most intricately complex arrangements, and the freedom of the music is constantly pulled back the authority of the beat. All of this is masked by American deadpan at its finest in lyrics that are too simple to be simple: if you want to move down the street, you have to move your feet; bait in the belly and hook in the mouth; where’d you get those black and blue eyes? If there’s a mystique in their simplicity, it’s only because beauty is the key trait in both; the same could be said about America’s music – and its landscape – at its finest." - www.franksmithmusic.com Read more on Last.fm.
