Derek Smith and the Cosmic Vultures has released a new EP filled with psychedelic folk-rock. The new album is titled Temporary Circus: Act 2 and seems the Boston singer-songwriter embarking inward.
Led by empyrean single and spotlight track “Mother Coven,” the new EP continues to stir Smith’s creative cauldron, where melodic traces of alternative, pop-rock, ‘60s indie, post-glam, Yacht Rock, and AM ‘70s gold swirl upward to the heavens like a ghost trace of smoke emerging from the fire that burns within us.
Derek Smith shared the following about the new release:
“The ‘Temporary Circus’ idea has always felt bigger than just a single concept. Everything in life can be temporary, whether it’s good or bad. The first act really dealt with mass manipulation and being controlled by people or thought. This second act begins to deal with finding yourself, but in a weird, almost psychological journey.”
