Smith Westerns made a big splash with Dye It Blonde in 2011; positive reviews and festival invitations gushed into the seams of their jeans. So adored by the music-sphere, the follow-up slump would cause some degree of an embarrassment. Judging by the lead single, "Varsity", from their soon to be released album, Soft Will, their fans can probably let out a sigh of relief, yet the mercurial world of blogosphere has yet to weigh in. Catchy, beyond pop-y, if not overtly ornate for some, "Varsity" offers plenty of textures and structures for all the bloggers to analyze over.
