While notorious rappers from Toronto go around at the near-daybreak hours, indie heros need to spend time getting a little more beauty rest. Smith Westerns released the second single from their upcoming Soft Will and it's title “3am Spiritual” means you won't have to stay up all night waiting for this gorgeous, expansive pop song to fill your brain spaces with warmth. It's eerily close to the beauty of The Flaming Lips or Sgt. Peppers Beatles and just when you think it can't have one more element to give it the push over the singalong edge, a new guitar solo comes in, or a twinkly, bright-eyed piano makes a wonderful interlude. It's going to be mainstay for the summer months and has some serious Wes Anderson rosy edges.
Soft Will releases on June 25 through Mom+Pop. Check out Smith Westerns on tour below.
