Dye It Blonde

2011 sophomore album from the Alt-Rock outfit. Their self titled "Io-fi" debut, released in 2009, garnered critical acclaim for their youthful and Glam Rock tinged approach to pop music. In 2010, Smith Westerns teamed up with Chris Coady (Yeah Yeah Yeahs, TVOTR, Beach House) to record this second album in a proper studio. The result was a cleaner/higher quality recording of lush, timeless pop songs with emphasis on the guitar virtuosity. Of Led Zeppelin and the arena rock anthems of Oasis.
