“Dolophine Smile” is influenced by the breakup of Gustaf and his ex-girlfriend, Gustafs relocation back to Malmö from London and various health issues. The songs reflect a darker side of main man Gustaf Kjellvanders psyche. “Dolophine Smile” is a sonic journey to the center of a broken heart: A frank, sincere and honest look at a relationship falling apart at the seams. From Joachim Leksell’s opening bassline on “Friday on My Knees” all the way through to the stunning bittersweet closing track “You Knew I Was Trouble From the Start”, which features UK starlet “Theoretical Girl”, it is clear that the band means business. The lyrics are more self revealing and heavy in satire than ever before.
