'The Time It Takes To Smile' is the third studio album from London based
electro-cabaret artists, AlterRed. The third album also concludes the
AlterRed & Emily story which has been the central narrative of the
previous two albums and the live shows. Focussing on the themes of
detachment, aloneness and isolation, and further developing AlterRed’s
minimalist dark-synth meets piano-cabaret sound, the album is a
collection of songs written from the perspective of some the characters
within the narrative, as well as observations of the situation they are
in. Confusion, fear, desperation, regret and disassociation, all of this
transpires in the 'Time it Takes to Smile'.
