Smith Westerns
Chicago’s Smith Westerns will release its sophomore LP, Dye It Blonde, on Fat Possum on Jan. 18. The first single from the record is “Weekend” which fans can listen to here.

The record was produced by Chris Coady (Yeah Yeah Yeahs, !!!, TVOTR, Beach House, etc.) in New York City. The band is currently in Europe on tour with MGMT, and today announced a slew of early 2011 dates, including two NYC dates in Jan and later dates with the UK band and Fat Possum labelmates Yuck.
