Smith Westerns release first video from 'Soft Will' and announce summer tour (dates)

Smith Westerns

As mentioned, Smith Westerns will release their third album, Soft Will, via Mom + Pop on July 24. The record was made with producer Chris Coady (who worked most recently Beach House’s Bloom) and you can watch the makeout-heavy video for first single, “Varsity,” below. Awash in glistening keyboards, but highly melodic as usual, nobody’s gonna compare this one to T-Rex.

The band will be on tour this summer too, including an NYC show on the day of the album’s release (7/24) at Music Hall of Williamsburg. Tickets for that show go on sale Friday (5/10) at noon. All tour dates are listed below.
