With “Siren Smile”, the British duo The Afterword release the third single from their forthcoming EP, turning towards a quieter, more reflective side of their songwriting. Following the indie folk-pop of “An Illusion” and “LA”, the new track is a more intimate tale of love and the lingering weight of words left unsaid. „We wanted to convey a depth of feeling and sense of regret in this ballad, owing much to the poignant love songs of Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen.” Built around piano and acoustic guitar, “Siren Smile” unfolds with quiet restraint, evoking a feeling of a forgotten village where memories seem to linger in the air.
