about

‘Dojo Days’ is a collection of songs written and recorded during the four years S.J. Smith spent living in the loft of an inner-city karate dojo. On the album’s surface, you’ll find hazy indie-rock tunes with infectious melodies, but digging a little deeper uncovers an underlying earnestness and honesty buried in Smith’s writing. Conceptually, the album doesn’t follow a singular theme or narrative but more so a tangled web of overlapping ideas: a structure that Smith believes best represents some of the most unpredictable years of his life. With themes of existentialism, self-reflection and nostalgia, Dojo Days is dedicated to anyone that may find themselves disorientated by the random turbulence of life.
