Smoke Signals - CD

Released: March 13, 2026

"Smoke Signals, the singer-songwriter's third LP, is a masterclass in emotional duality. By pairing rough-hewn, one-take acoustic confessionals with lush, synth-dense pop excursions, the artist captures the frantic urgency of a relationship’s beginning and the dreamy, often hazy nature of its aftermath. It’s a rare, diaristic project that succeeds by leaning into its imperfections, proving that the purest distillation of emotion often happens when the 'perfectionist' is finally told to relax. A hauntingly honest examination of the ghosts we keep."

All songs written and produced by Chris Rudel
