“Goodwill” is the third Vacant Smiles album. Created to fill a gap left by our original third album—which will arrive sooner or later—and released only 27 days after our first recording session, it is an album that celebrates the glorious shining light of randomness, weirdness and wrongness that is so often trampled on by our 21st century lives. Especially in the face of the impending cyber-doom of the modern world, with the rise of smartphone abuse, addiction, egomania and shitty public transport, while monolithic companies tower over us with their supposed goodwill held close to themselves, Goodwill recognises that while cynicism may be increasingly becoming our default setting, we must open ourselves up to the imperfect mess that we’ve made and take time to rejoice in goodwill.
