A flourishing pop success with a funky undercurrent, “Sandinista Smile” exudes a nostalgic pull with its harmonious vocals and orchestral-laden pop adorations. The release marks a stellar collaboration from Animal Scream and Ames Harding & The Mirage. The production is ravishing, melding strings, playful guitars, and bouncy percussive flair with vocals that emanate with effervescent jubilation — warming with a reassuring “you’ll be alright,” reminder. “Sandinista Smile” is an absolute delight.
