The Smith Westerns May 11, 2011

"Smith Westerns are Cullen Omori (vocals, 20yrs), Max Kakacek (Guitar, 20yrs), and Cameron Omori (Bass, 19yrs). Since forming in 2007, Smith Westerns have toured both the United States and Europe while supporting the likes of MGMT, Florence and the Machine, Belle and Sebastian, Girls, and Passion Pit. Their self-recorded “lo-fi” self-titled debut was released in 2009 and garnered critical acclaim for its youthful and glam rock tinged approach to pop music. In the summer of 2010, Smith Westerns teamed up with Chris Coady (Yeah Yeah Yeahs, TVOTR, Beach House) to record their sophomore effort in a proper studio the results of which became Dye it Blonde. Being released on Fat Possum Jan.18th, Dye it Blonde retains the charm of their debut but without the same financial shackles the result is a beautifully clean high quality recording of lushly layered pop songs.
