Rating: 6.5 lost hands out of 10
Right off the bat let's mention that All Smiles is the solo act of Jim Fairchild, guitarist of Grandaddy, because that fact is the reason that I (and I'm guessing a lot of other people) decided to listen to this record. It doesn't particularly sound like Grandaddy though - the first band I thought of while listening was Coconut Records (Jason Schwartzman's pop band), and the vocals are a little reminiscent of Ben Lee (especially on the second track "Summer Stay (Winter Version)"). The songs are definitely decent, and I'm certain I would have liked them even without the connection to one of my very favorite bands.
