Still in their teens when releasing their first record, Smith Westerns’ sound – brash, bold, gloriously unrefined – stuck out on the increasingly earnest Stateside indie scene.
Three albums down, the group have decided to call it quits. In a series of tweets, Smith Westerns frontman Cullen Omori explained that the band were going on indefinite hiatus following a show in their native Chicago on December 23rd.
The tweets in full:
Can't stress anymore that the 23rd at Schubas is the last official show before we go on indefinite hiatus 馃檨 http://t.co/KvygPBrHEJ

It's been a cool 7 years and I'm super grateful for everything. Wish some things recently could've changed but the 23rd is a last hurrah!
