Smith Westerns - Weekend
The lead single from the highly anticipated “Dye it Blonde” does not disappoint. It’s bold, beginning with a squeaking solo, and demonstrates the new, cleaner, sound that we can expect on the follow up to the brilliant and fuzzed out self titled album these guys put out last Summer. The cycle is fully complete and glam-rock is officially cool again, with Smith Westerns grabbing Bowie and Bolan and dragging them into the present day. The song-writing credentials of the band are obviously strong and they have mastered the art of writing catchy songs with stadium sized choruses about girls, getting drunk and hanging out. Perfect.
