Smith Westerns – “Smith Westerns” – [HoZac Records]

Just in time for summer, this pop rock gem of low-fi haze and sweet falling-in-love lyrics arrives to accompany moments of sun-drenched mellowness or upbeat, energetic activity. Cullen, Cameron, Max, and Colby are a band out of Chicago, Illinois well worth listening to. At times you can almost hear John Lennon in here (B2, B4).
