Singles is the second compilation album by English duo Smoke Fairies. It was released in November 2022, on the band's Year Seven Records label.
Smoke Fairies described their compilation as "a sonic journey charting the evolution and artistic exploration of the Smoke Fairies sound".
Rough Trade Records mentioned the compilation:- "The band first entered a recording studio to record their debut single 'Living with Ghosts' in 2008. Since then, school friends Jessica Davies and Katherine Blamire have penned and recorded 18 singles as part of their incredible body of work.
In a review for KLOF Mag, Danny Neill writes, "This is a very welcome, super-quality compilation release; the Smoke Fairies, who were the first UK band to sign with Jack WhiteâÂÂs Third Man Records label, have been releasing standalone singles alongside the cherry-picked single-worthy nuggets from their albums for over a decade now."
While compiling the album, the band were reminded that singles "Gastown" and "Riversong" were originally recorded without a music video, something that they decided to resolve by releasing two new animated works by Sophie Graves at Lovely Little Animations.
To celebrate the release, on 7 November 2022, Smoke Fairies played a one night only, sell-out gig at Omeara, London.
The double-album was released on standard black and limited edition clear vinyl and deluxe edition CD.
