about

"Wake Up Smile" is a meditative and dreamy debut album from Nils Westdal’s "Abalone Beauty" project. On this new crusade of calm, you might think Nils has gone "totally Yanni" on us by the first few seconds of listening. However, as it progresses the listener is gradually ushered into a very comfortable and mesmerizingly organic electronic and intriguing sonic dreamscape. One could conclude that it is a meditation workshop while another might purely enjoy it for the friendly and lyrical fretless bass that ties these four pieces together. "Wake Up Smile" is what you, the listener and passenger, make and take from it. Whether you decide to relax with it on a Sunday morning or bring it to bed with you in the evening, may it’s quirky healing sensibilities take you to the place that you need to be.
