Smith Westerns share video for 'Idol'

It’s a myth that sitting in the corner, looking despondent at a party makes you seem cool and mysterious. We should know, we try it most weekends. But in their video for album standout track ‘Idol’, Smith Westerns just about pull it off.

‘Idol’ is taken from their new record Soft Will, which is out now. The album is their follow-up to 2011′s Dye It Blonde.

The hazy-shot video was directed by Sandy Kim and can be streamed beneath:
