Release notes:

With Smoke & Mirrors, Lifehouse's fifth studio album, lead singer/guitarist
Jason Wade, drummer Rick Wollstenhulme, bassist Bryce Soderberg and newly added
guitarist Ben Carey, along with long time producer Jude Cole, have created a set
that combines their live sound with great record making

Smoke & Mirrors started out with a mission to capture the live, rock side of the
band: a sound they had perfected after three years of solid touring. However
after living with the early tracks and experimenting with others, a piece of the
puzzle seemed to be missing

Equal to their enthusiasm for the live sound, they also love to make studios
records. After all, one of Lifehouse's greatest achievements is the tens of
millions of radio spins garnered over the span of 4 albums, so to create a
record solely focusing on the sound from their show felt off balance

A trip back into the studio to experiment in more of a 'record making' effort
produced tracks like "All In," "Here Tomorrow Gone today" and the first singe
"Halfway Gone" co written by Kevin Rudolf (Let It Rock). Songs sure to be heard
on radio for years to come. Songs Like "Smoke & mirrors," "Wrecking Ball" and
"Had Enough" (with guest vocals by Chris Daughtry) have a very raw and stage
driven feel to them and certainly play homage to the live show that Lifehouse is
equally known for

With this light hearted concept and fitting title, Smoke & Mirrors properly
defines the best that Lifehouse has to offer, showcasing a rocking band with
their 5th studio album full of new hit records for Lifehouse fans new and old
