I saw The Smith Westerns a few months ago and I was quite captivated by their breezy, catchy hymns and their great sense of melody, channeling Lennon as if Oasis had never existed.
They have just released a short film ‘Die With Your Chin Up’ about the making of their last album ‘Dye It Blonde’, released last January.
The 9 minute movie, directed by Ray Concepcion, is a behind the scenes look at their recording of their album, showing them in the studio, discussing their musical influences: 70s glam and Oasis chorus? Who would have thought?
Even though the movie is not a big revelation about the Chicago band, but it’s just 9 minutes and the title is great.
Watch ‘Die With Your Chin Up’ here before seeing them in concert in their upcoming tour
