Before this album was released, most people had just written them off as a Pitchfork buzzband that got their fifteen minutes of fame back in 2011 never to be heard from again but I\u2019m glad to see that this release should silence their detractors. With tracks like the pure Beatles pop of \u201c3AM Spiritual\u201d to the Pink Floyd inspired instrumental \u201cXXIII\u201d, it is difficult not to instantly fall in love with this band. Go into this album with an open mind and you\u2019ll be surprised how much you enjoy it.<\/p>\n<p><b><\/b><b>Think \u2013 The Beatles, Foxygen, Unknown Mortal Orchestra<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Recommended Tracks \u2013 1, 4, 6, 10<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>FCC \u2013 Clean<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Label \u2013 Mom + Pop<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Released \u2013 June 25<sup>th<\/sup>, 2013<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Reviewed by Jake Waters<\/b><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/Smith-Westerns-Soft-Will.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-24872\" alt=\"Smith-Westerns-Soft-Will\" src=\"http:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/Smith-Westerns-Soft-Will-300x300.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/Smith-Westerns-Soft-Will-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/Smith-Westerns-Soft-Will-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/Smith-Westerns-Soft-Will-125x125.jpg 125w, https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/Smith-Westerns-Soft-Will.jpg 678w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pitchfork buzzband lives up to the hype<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":128,"featured_media":24872,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3230,181],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-24871","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-new-music-rotation","category-rock-rotation"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/Smith-Westerns-Soft-Will.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24871","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/128"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=24871"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24871\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/24872"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=24871"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=24871"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=24871"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
