The Smith Westerns are young, but that has not stopped them from already releasing a pretty solid self titled debut last year. On January 18th they will release their second album (and first proper one) entitled Dye It Blond. And it is GOOD! Many of you have probably heard the first single Weekend and the entire album captures that exuberant and nostalgic lo-fi sound. It reminds me of if circa 2010 hipsters were transported to Pleasantville and had a dance party. Most striking is how much more polished it all sounds. Take for example the track Imagine Pt. 3, once a promising demo and now cleaned up into an epic ballad. The first version is from Dye It Blond, and the second is an unreleased demo. Check out the slight, yet crucial, changes. The Smith Westerns are making moves and it sounds great.
