From this young Windy City group, retro-rock doesn’t feel like a history class. Rummaging through 1970s glam, Phil Spector teen-pop, and Nuggets garage-punk with the youthful abandon of kids finding new toys in the attic, the Smith Westerns’ self-titled debut exudes an earnestness almost as pure as its recording levels are deafening. Their simple, sweet choruses about boys and girls in love could spike the punch at a 1970s TV show (OK, “Freaks & Geeks”/”That ’70s Show”) school dance. Parent chaperones would be none the wiser.- Marc Hogan
