Smith Westerns Share New Album Track
Smith Westerns are pleased to share “3am Spiritual”, the second single from Soft Will, the band’s long-awaited follow up to Dye It Blonde. The first song written for the album it’s a track that finds the band in a contemplative mode, dealing with disillusionment from heavy touring and the readjustment of returning home.
Soft Will, the third LP from Smith Westerns, will be released June 25th on Mom+Pop (in Europe on June 24 via Co-Op). After playing over 140 shows in support of Dye it Blonde in 2012 Smith Westerns (Cullen Omori, Max Kakacek and Cameron Omori) returned to Chicago and began writing the follow-up LP. Writing through the Spring and into the Summer of 2012 the band teamed up once again with producer Chris Coady (Beach House, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, TVOR) and in August began recording what would become Soft Will at Sonic Ranch (El Paso, TX).
