Although they praised the band's efforts when they first leaked onto the internet's consciousness, Pitchfork Media has decided to shun blogosphere darlings, the Smith Westerns.By not giving the band's debut LP their "Best New Music" stamp approval, Pitchfork is ultimately saying they're not worth the hype. Too bad they couldn't be more wrong.
The Chicago foursome have been mentioned here before, and rightfully so. Sounding like the lo-fi child of T. Rex and '63-'64 era Beatles, the Smith Westerns sing about girls they just want to hold hands with behind backdrops of vintage glam rock. What more can one ask for in the summertime? (And yes that is Nirvana's Nevermind spliced into their own album cover).
