Strange Plants Embrace Nostalgic Psychedelia with New Single "Horseshoe Smile"
Strange Plants have returned with Horseshoe Smile, a lively psychedelic pop track that transports listeners to the golden eras of music while sounding unmistakably fresh. Blending the melodic charm of Tears For Fears with the experimental spirit of the Beatles’ Revolver period, Horseshoe Smile is a joyful, trippy anthem that carries a sharp observational edge. The track dances between whimsical and biting as it critiques the polished digital personas and exaggerated performances that dominate both public spaces and social media. The song’s title cleverly references the overly enthusiastic display of teeth when laughter feels forced or staged, poking fun at the increasingly artificial ways people present themselves online and in daily life.

The Paradox of the Flame
hat image of the burning bush has always held a strange power for me. A fire that consumes yet doesn't destroy – it’s such a potent symbol. It makes you think about forces beyond our everyday understanding, something raw and vital that defies simple explanation. It feels more profound, somehow, than a deity depicted with a human face, something so much bigger than our limited perceptions. You wonder what it would have been like to truly look upon it, without flinching.
