[3] A Irish duo of ex-Cyclefly members (aka Mako.), singer-songwriter Declan OโShea (vocals) and guitarist-songwriter Christian Montagne (bass), formed in 2006. Their dรฉbut album was Living on Air (2007, Drive).
While OโShea is from East Cork, Co. Cork, they recorded their dรฉbut album in Montagne's home town, Antibes, Dungarvan, Co. Waterford. This new project retains Cyclefly's slightly edgy alt-rock sound, with a mellowed maturity. OโShea's voice has been compared to those of David Bowie, The Psychedelic Furs' Richard Butler and Annie Lennox.

[4] Taking its name from the roving short-fin sea predator, MAKO has cast upon Boston shores after conquering the Hudson Valley, performing with the likes of Thurston Moore and Japanther. With a sound that draws from Scott Walker to the Smiths to Led Zeppelin (minus the Wolfmothered overhype) Mako's thick riff-heavy indie rock is augmented by the hauntingly long voice of vocalist Hunter McClamrock, at once equal parts Brett Anderson and Adam Ant, delivering a sound that glides effortlessly through the modern rock ocean. Shallow-water guitar shine and deep lyrical introspection add up to one of the city's more unexpected arrivals. Sharks patrol these waters, indeed.
[5] A Eurobeat artist.
[6] An Oklahoma City, OK, USA Final Fantasy-themed screamo band, with a member known as 1337 Skramz.
[7] An Manchester, UK based eclectic / collaborative producer.

Smoke Filled Room
Mako Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Shouldn't you fly away?
Little dove with cigarettes
Show 'em that you can hold your breath
I heard about a girl
Buried her dolls and lost her curls
Painted on lipstick red
Walk into a smoke-filled room
Oh, no one could keep their eyes off you
Have a little drink or two
Oh, how could you be that girl I knew?
Walk into a smoke-filled room
Little black dress and mama's shoes
Isn't it a bit too soon
Oh, how could you be that girl I knew?
How could you be that girl I knew?
Walk into a smoke filled room
Oh, I believe love will follow you
Isn't it a bit too soon
Oh, how could you be that girl I knew?
Take a step around the room
And every head keeps turning too
Little dove, you fight 'em back
Show 'em you're so much more than that
I heard about a girl
Buried her dolls and lost her curls
Painted on lipstick red
Grew herself up and then she'd
Walk into a smoke-filled room
Oh, no one could keep their eyes off you
Have a little drink or two
Oh, how could you be that girl I knew?
Walk into a smoke-filled room
Little black dress and mama's shoes
Isn't it a bit too soon
Oh, how could you be that girl I knew?
The lyrics of Mako's song "Smoke Filled Room" speak to the transformation of a young woman who has grown up and undergone a metamorphosis of sorts. The opening lines "Isn't it a little late, shouldn't you fly away?" hint that the singer believes the main character is not ready or perhaps mature enough to be in the environment she finds herself in. However, the chorus of the song seems to suggest that the young woman has become something of a stunning figure in her own right. She walks into a room filled with smoke, and all eyes are on her, dressed in her little black dress and her mother's shoes. She is seemingly evolving and leaving behind her previous self.
The song suggests that the main character has gone through significant changes. She has buried her dolls, lost her curls, and painted on lipstick, becoming someone entirely unrecognizable from her previous self. The chorus of the song seems to celebrate this transformation, and suggests that love will follow the main character. It is possible that the song is about growing up and moving on from childhood into adulthood, and the singer is urging the character to embrace who she has become and not look back.
Overall, "Smoke Filled Room" utilizes metaphorical imagery to suggest a moment of transformation and highlights the process of growing up and evolving into someone new.

Isn't it a little late
Why are you still here?
Shouldn't you fly away?
Shouldn't you leave now?
Little dove with cigarettes
Young girl smoking cigarettes
Show 'em that you can hold your breath
Demonstrate that you can endure tough times and survive
I heard about a girl
I know a story about a girl
Buried her dolls and lost her curls
The girl abandoned her childhood toys and appearance
Painted on lipstick red
She wears bold lipstick
Grew herself up and then she'd
She matured and became determined
Walk into a smoke-filled room
Entered a room filled with smoke
Oh, no one could keep their eyes off you
Her presence commanded attention
Have a little drink or two
Sipping some alcohol at the party
Oh, how could you be that girl I knew?
I canโt believe this is the girl I know
Little black dress and mama's shoes
Wearing a black dress and her mother's shoes
Isn't it a bit too soon
Isn't it too early for you to be this way?
Oh, how could you be that girl I knew?
I canโt believe you're the same person anymore
Walk into a smoke-filled room
Entered a room filled with smoke
Oh, I believe love will follow you
She believes that love will follow
Take a step around the room
Walking around the room
And every head keeps turning too
Everyone notices her presence in the room
Little dove, you fight 'em back
Young girl, ignore them and fight back
Show 'em you're so much more than that
Show everyone that you are more than they think you are
