Smoke & Mirrors is another track that was inspired by one of our favorite films. Smoke & Mirrors was our take on the Coen Brothers classic “O Brother Where Art Thou.” I grew up in a religious household where gospel music was played constantly, so I wanted to try my hand at adding those elements into my own music, which I had never done before. The result was this story (which is a continuation of Crossroading) where our outlaw character sees the error in his ways and has a coming to God moment.
