Smith Westerns

"All Die Young"

BY Alex HudsonPublished Jan 7, 2011

We already saw a video for the Smith Westerns' "Weekend," the first single off their upcoming sophomore LP, Dye It Blonde. Now, we have another taste of the band's cleaned-up sound, in the form of "All Die Young."

Backed with purring organ and bolstered by tinkling piano and cinematic slide leads, the song could easily pass for a Bic-waving arena ballad. This massive, reverb-heavy sound was achieved with the help of big-name indie producer Chris Coady (Yeah Yeah Yeahs, TV on the Radio) and it's a far cry from the scrappy garage rock fuzz of the band's self-titled debut.

Stream the tune below.

You can read up on Dye It Blonde, which is due out January 18 via Fat Possum, here and listen to the previous single right here. For Smith Westerns tour dates, well, those are here.
