Background and release

The songs were recorded at Rustbelt Studios in Royal Oak, Michigan in just three days in 2016.[1][3] Black Smoke Rising was planned to be the first of three EPs that would make an album when all released.[4] Its cover art was designed by Josh and Jake.[5]

The song "Highway Tune" was released as a single on March 31, 2017, and topped the Billboard Mainstream Rock and Active Rock Rock stations in September 2017.[6] On April 18, 2017 the music video for the song "Highway Tune" was released exclusively on Loudwire.[7]

On April 21, 2017 they were named Apple Music's new artist of the week.[8] A second single, "Safari Song", was released in October 2017, and peaked at number 1 on the same chart in February 2018.[9]

Themes and composition

Opening track "Highway Tune" is the first song the band had ever written, dating back to their original drummer.[10][11] "Safari Song" is almost as old. Sam revealed that it originally had a "big percussion break with like bongos and congas, very kind of Santana, kind of South American style" that got cut from the version included on the EP.[11]

"Flower Power" was written around 2014, when Jake created the guitar riff.[12] Sam explained "Jake just started playing two chords together and, you know, magic happened. I sat down on the organ and started playing the part and then Josh came out and sang the song all the way through, like it was already written."[11] He also said he was imagining the end of "America" by Simon and Garfunkel for its organ outro.[13] Josh said to him it gave a San Francisco Haight-Ashbury vibe and was written with a "folk influence and a nod to that era's sound."[12]

The title track was written in the studio during the recording of the other three.[11] Its lyrics are a "reflection on the lessons of history and that man does not always learn from the lessons of history" and "in a more positive light, embodies a unity of humanity."[1]

Reception

As of February 24, 2018, the EP has sold 70,000 units (including 47,000 in traditional album sales) in the U.S.[14]
