50. Smith Westerns

50. Smith Westerns - Dye It Blonde

I saw Smith Westerns open for Wilco earlier this year. In fact, they have toured quite a bit, including a headline show in Norman and spots at both SXSW and ACL. I have been enamored by their release and am really glad they made the cut. Dye It Blonde is their second release, produced in a studio with their label, Fat Possum. Much more polished, their sound is akin to David Bowie and T. Rex with a lo-fi, fuzzed out, glam pop sound. They come from Chicago and the band consists of Cullen and Cameron Omori and Max Kacacek. Check out their website below for a free download of their song 'Weekend'.
