A Tribal Smile

They came from geostationary orbit above metro Detroit. They brought music you didn't know you needed. And now they're on your iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV, Apple Watch, and CarPlay. Buckle up, sonic travelers - enjoy the ride!

What is A Tribal Smile?
- Only THE legendary space basement band. An ever-morphing ensemble of musicians from around the world who collaborate in-person and online to create unique sonic experiences unlike anything else in the known universe. Their mothership hovers (probably) above metro Detroit, Michigan — and they do visit us from time to time.

What kinds of music is this?
- A delightful and unpredictable variety — electronic, avant-garde, dance, chill, alternative, rock, psychedelic, and deep space basement. You'll hear all of A Tribal Smile's recent color vinyl LP releases, individual songs, and cosmic emissions too. Something for everyone, and then some.

What does the app do?
- Stream A Tribal Smile anywhere, beautifully. The app features hypnotic fractal visuals that pulse, breathe, and tilt with your device as you move, a built-in Tribal Smile Equalizer and Smoothinator to shape your sound just right, and a rich Now Playing screen with Recently Played tracks and shuffling artwork so every session feels fresh. A Battery Saver mode keeps the party going longer, and Total Tribal Time keeps count of every minute well spent. Available on iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV, Apple Watch, and CarPlay — your soundtrack, on every screen you own.

Who are the radio station hosts?
- Like the world's most wonderfully strange college radio station, this 24x7 broadcast is hosted by a charmingly eccentric assortment of DJs who each bring their own flavor to the experience — including Jonny Socko, Danny Mothra, Oliver Middlebrook, Spanky Bottoms, Eddie Gold Obvious, Gary Hurglewitz, and more!

What does it cost?
- Nothing. Free. Gratis. But let's consider the cost of NOT streaming A Tribal Smile daily. You could be toe-tapping, drifting away with chill psychedelia, and discovering your new most favorite song right now. What's to lose?

Where can I learn more?
- The fine folks at A Tribal Smile routinely update tribalsmile.com. They also occasionally surface on facebook.com/tribalsmile and instagram.com/atribalsmile. Carrier pigeons and smoke signals have also been known to work.

How much of the above is real?
- Most of what's truthful is real. They really are THE legendary space basement band. The carrier pigeons were mostly added for a laugh and, to the best of our knowledge, they are not actually in geostationary orbit. At least, we're not entirely sure they're not.

Anything else?
- Press play. Buy the records. Pick your favorite streaming service. Download the app. Tweak your settings so it auto-plays the second you launch it, skip the splash screen if you're in a hurry, tilt your device to spin the fractal for fun — and if a particular tune doesn't suit your fancy, maybe get a glass of water, because by the time you get back, something wonderfully different will almost certainly be playing.
