However, the brain that birthed these four-plus minutes of gorgeous audio deserves both a high-price and high-praise indeed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Now, before I go any further, I must let you know that I am not easily won over. Each day, I traipse through song after song, disappointedly skipping after a minute as they don\u2019t meet my high expectations. Yet, within moments of this track first meeting my earphones, I knew I was hearing something special.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- Random Ad stuff --><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display: block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-2076862002005673\" data-ad-slot=\"3107208401\" data-ad-format=\"auto\"><\/ins><\/p>\n<p><script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Beautifully blending harmonies, catchy choruses, a delicious off-beat hi-hat and an unexpected brass interlude, this song gave me everything I wanted and more. It\u2019s even accompanied by a stylish new, light-show based music video. What\u2019s not to love?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The band\u2019s energetic sound takes playful vocal interplay and moreish lyrics reminiscent of the traditional and Irish folk and sea shanties and drags them into the twenty first century, with each band member contributing one or more lively instrumental layers to a crowd-pleasing, venue-filling track.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Third Smoke are a band destined for big things. Big sounds, big venues, and big songs. And, if their next release comes even close to the marvel that is &#8216;Maya&#8217;, they\u2019re certain to hit success faster than the time it took me to add this to my current playlist \u2013 about 22 seconds, for those that were wondering.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Find out more about Third Smoke online from their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thirdsmoke.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">official website<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/thirdsmoke\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/thirdsmoke\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Instagram<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pg\/ThirdSmoke\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook pages.<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8216;Maya&#8217; can be streamed and downloaded from <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/artist\/0Z7tcQepOXp8vRN2qBgU0E\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Spotify<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/geo.itunes.apple.com\/us\/album\/maybe-in-time-ep\/id1229840297?mt=1&amp;app=music\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">iTunes<\/a>.
