Sharpie Smile - The Staircase (2025) [Hi-Res]

The Staircase, the debut album from Sharpie Smile (Dylan Hadley & Cole Berliner), is a radiant and emotionally immersive pop record tracing a path through heartbreak, transformation, and rebirth. Having honed their craft in art-rock band Kamikaze Palm Tree and with artists like Cate Le Bon and A. Savage, the duo now steps into the spotlight.

Produced by Cesar Maria with contributions from Spencer Hartling, Cairo Marques-Neto, and Mikey Weiland, the album blends minimal and maximal pop aesthetics—lush synths, glitchy textures, and icy vocals drawing on influences like SOPHIE, 100 gecs, and Oklou.

The Staircase is a bold journey of sound and self, where grief meets hope, and clarity reshapes memory. A stunning entrance from a duo clearly on the rise.
