'Rolling The Dice' was inspired by a trip we took to Joshua Tree, where a trailhead sign warned: “Don’t die today.” Standing among ancient pictographs and harsh desert terrain, we were reminded how easily outsiders underestimate land that others have lived with for thousands of years.
Back home in Australia, that same feeling lingered — when we ignore history, we’re rolling the dice.
Melbourne/Naarm alt-country gems The Smith & Western Jury have announced their long-awaited debut studio album, Hotel Texas. Inspired by lived experiences, Hotel Texas takes listeners on a captivating journey through tales of pain, love, and loss, imbued with raw authenticity and heartfelt emotion in the face of adversity.
The Smith & Western Jury acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the country throughout Australia and recognise their continuing connection to land, waters and culture.
We pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging.
