Originally recorded as a series of home-made cassette sessions in Baltimore, "Come Along With Me" captures The Smashing Times at their most spontaneous and charming. What began as lo-fi recordings in a basement has become a wonderfully timeless collection of jangling guitar pop, DIY folk rock and dreamy indie melodies.

The band's songs drift effortlessly between shimmering guitars, gentle harmonies and colourful psychedelic touches, creating a sound that feels equally inspired by the late '60s underground and the independent pop explosion of the '80s. Despite their homemade origins, these recordings are full of warmth, imagination and beautifully crafted melodies.

Loose, melodic and refreshingly unpretentious, "Come Along With Me" is an album that rewards repeated listening, revealing new details with every spin. A delightful slice of jangly guitar pop for fans of Sarah Records, Television Personalities, The Pastels and the melodic side of DIY indie.
