Video: Smith Westerns - "Idol"

Chicago natives Smith Westerns bring on the melancholy in their new video for "Idol," a track off their album Soft Will which is out now on Mom + Pop. The video features the band pooping their own party while friends live it up right behind them. Their friends to try to cheer them up but even a 40 of malt liquor can't help. The song seems to suggest some disillusionment caused by their 'idol'. But maybe, like me, they're still mourning the loss of James Gandolfini.
