Sons of Sevilla

Brudenell Presents...

To begin a new chapter in their ongoing musical story, the Smith brothers have served up a suitably strong double A-side single. Both were recorded with producer Max Shrager at his Studio Zoe space in New Jersey, following the culmination of the duo’s 2025 tour of the United States. Musically rich, sonically vivid and terrifically tactile, the two songs are as emotionally stirring as they are infectious and inspiring. Lead cut ‘Forever Heaven’ was originally laid down in demo form in their studio in Leeds, before being re-made with Shrager last year. It sees the pair at their sweet and alluring best, with glassy-eyed, loved-up lead vocals, chiming melodies and dusty licks rising above rubbery bass guitar, warming electric piano motifs and a snare-heavy soul break. It’s a moon-lit masterpiece tailored made for humid evenings and sweltering summer nights. This blue-eyed soul-meets-soft-rock feel is further explored on ‘Changing’, a track written in Los Angeles following a tour rehearsal session, and subsequently laid down in New Jersey. In it, the Smith brothers offer subtle nods to pedal steel-sporting Americana and late sixties psychedelic dream pop. More languid, gentle and musically detailed in tone, the song makes use of a similarly warm and organic sonic palette and classic instrumentation. It’s another timeless blast of wide-eyed, loved-up musical nostalgia that lingers long in the memory.
