Thrilling rock act GXTP’s debut album Smoke & Mirrors is an energetic journey through the genre that balances a sense of daring freshness with warm familiarity. Showcasing a blend of different kinds of rock music sensibilities with a bit of humor and self-awareness, the pandemic-born album is a reflection of today’s world brought to life with poignant lyricism.
From the nostalgia feel of lead single, "Lust & Purity," with its powerful beats and lively guitar lines and the rhythmic introspection of “Quiet Riot,” to explosive touches such as on hard-hitting “Contraband,” and anthemic "Accusation," the album sets a diverse range that feels polished and strong yet gritty and wild.
Led by multi-platinum and GRAMMY-nominated producers Jason Paul, Sasha Sirota, and Triple Sixx, this debut project is one that sets up GXTP’s musicality as a bold and complex one worth tuning into.
