Smith Westerns: "Weekend"
It's almost the weekend, and it so happens that Smith Westerns have just released a song called "Weekend." This track off the Chicago-bred quartet's sophomore effort, Dye It Blonde, is an absolute delight, with the fizzling echo of its guitar and boyish lovesickness. The album displays some noticeable growth over the past year, without sacrificing any of the 70's resounding retro influence and youthful eagerness that made Smith Westerns debut so captivating. Check out a review of the album on Pitchfork.

Hey I don't know if you ever read this music site "Consequence of Sound" but Ive been thinking its right up your alley. They (for the most part) describe and reflect on music in the same heartfelt variety as you. well it just seems less abrasive and a nice break from Rolling Stone or Spin. Check it out. Don't know if you saw this yet but I saw FR last week and they played this new self-described "folk" song. Its pretty amazing. It carries such haunting simplicity...
