Smokey Brights - \\u201cOcean Shores,\\u201d a 2022 single on Freakout.

Husband-and-wife duo and KEXP regulars, Smokey Brights, have been steadily churning out singles since their third record, 2020\\u2019s I Love You But Damn. Released in the midst of the pandemic, the album was a bright spot amidst the bleakness of the world in which it was birthed and a sign of perseverance.

Their latest single continues the Seattle band\\u2019s streak of sunshiney optimism. Named after the sleepy seaside Washington town, \\u201cOcean Shores\\u201d sparkles with glimmering synths and kicks off with chorus of bellowing cries before mellowing out to focus on Kim West\\u2019s saccharine vocals that recount a story of spending time in the idyllic town while in the midst of battling depression and the mental gymnastics that take place when trying to get out of your head to appreciate beauty.
