As an adequate follow-up of “Lighters To The Sky” and “Pretty,” two critically acclaimed singles released earlier this year, “Smile (No Fox Gibbon)” also showcases many innovations in songwriting, composing, recording, and producing. You’ll notice how some other complementary music genres found their place in these wondrous sonic equation, such as indie rock, pop punk, or maybe skater rock.

The creatively implemented back vocals play a significant role during the particular sections, as they enhance the ambiance even more.

But that’s not all, because Chandra incorporated many arpeggiated chord progressions, themes, leads, and accentuations that help out rhythm guitar to shine in all its glory. You’ll also hear how the equally complex, vividly hearable, warm-sounding basslines contribute to the heaviness, clarity, and depth, but also serve as a binding element between guitars and drums. The excellent drumming performance is based upon energetic, well-accentuated beats, breaks, fills, and other percussive acrobatics that offer more than necessary groove and pace, but also keep the reminder of the instrumentations in line. All these orchestrations have several purposes, and their function within the song proves Chandra’s creativity and talent.
