Smith Westerns' Soft Will shows the Chicago band upping their recording quality, and really showcasing the big melodies and choruses that were hidden under some of the muck on their last record, Dye It Blonde.
After a short and fuzzy self-titled LP this past August, the band Smith Westerns have already set a date for their followup. If the rest of the LP takes any cues from this first single, the band will sound a lot sweeter and catchier this time around. The album's title is Dye It Blonde, and look for it on Fat Possum on 1/18/11.
