After losing their father in 2020, they poured themselves into BIG SADS—a five-track EP that became a way to navigate overwhelming grief. Now, St.South is embracing a new chapter with SMILE NOW CRY LATER, a remix EP featuring some of their favorite artists—BROODS, SOAK, imagiro, Willo, and Yumi Zouma—each reimagining these deeply personal songs. If BIG SADS was the soundtrack to their grieving, then SMILE NOW CRY LATER is the soundtrack to their healing, though they’ve come to understand that grief isn’t something to heal from but rather something to live alongside. This remix EP marks a shift—choosing to step out of the sadness long enough to see friends; to move, breathe, and even laugh again. It’s a tribute to the messy, beautiful truth that grief and joy can coexist. These remixes have shown them that light can break through even the darkest of times. As a special addition, they’ve included the original demo of "a good year"—a raw, living room recording from the day it was written in 2021. Captured without a metronome, this version preserves the song's initial feeling, a simple memory that became something unexpectedly special.
