Following the release of Dye It Blonde in January, indie-rock band Smith Westerns have been garnering a lot of attention. Starting on April 25th, the Chicago trio will be touring across North America, with a bunch of the shows having already sold out, and are even set to perform at this years Sasquatch! Music Festival. Upon nearing the end of their recording sessions for Dye It Blonde, the band invited director Ray Concepcion, who has directed videos for bands like The National, Diamond Rings, and Panda Bear, into the studio to film the end of the recording process.
