The Smile Makers: indie, funk, folk, ska, alt-rock.
The Smile Makers is the music of Eric Donaldson and Nicole Sutka.
"When it comes to the Smile Makers, everything is unexpected. The music is intricate, delicate and sometimes a little dark. A song such as 'Only Satellites' moves slowly, allowing you to sink into its spare vocals and desolate acoustic guitar. It's gorgeous. Other songs, such as 'Broken in Two,' have a sort of old-school, lyric-driven country edge. It's a fine whiskey of a song, and like good whiskey, can leave you a little messed up and weepy. Each song creates its own vibe, and the duo plays with dynamics and vocal harmonies that are just captivating. This is some serious, serious music, and that's something to smile about."
