Mickey Smith - Darkside Of The Lens

Review by Phil Larson

The album Darkside Of The Lens by Mickey Smith is a hauntingly beautiful piece of work that captures the essence of the ocean in a way that few other artists have been able to do. The album is a collection of songs that are inspired by the ocean and its many moods, and it is clear that Smith has a deep connection to the sea.

The music on the album is a mix of ambient and instrumental tracks, with each song telling a unique story. The use of guitar, piano, and other instruments creates a dreamy and ethereal atmosphere that transports the listener to the ocean's depths.

The standout track on the album is "Darkside Of The Lens," which was also the title of a documentary film that Smith made about surfing. The song is a hauntingly beautiful piece that perfectly captures the thrill and danger of surfing. The use of distorted guitar riffs and sparse piano notes creates a sense of tension and excitement that builds throughout the song.

Summary by Phil Larson

Darkside Of The Lens is a stunning album that showcases Mickey Smith's exceptional talent as a musician and filmmaker. The album is a must-listen for anyone who loves the ocean and wants to experience its many moods through music.
