ANCHR's Artist of the Day: Cullen Omori

If you woke up and received a new stereo system for Christmas, this post is for you. 

You may know Cullen Omori as the lead singer of former Chicago band Smith Westerns (RIP), but it's a crime of epic proportions his work hasn't gotten the credit it deserves since he went solo in 2016.

Debut album "New Misery," where Omori plays every instrument, is incredible. Judging by Twitter, it seems like Omori has followed his brother's lead and went back to school at Northwestern. It makes sense to have a backup plan when you spent your traditional college years touring the planet. Nonetheless, I hope Omori keeps making music in 2020. 

He remained honest on second Sub-Pop release "The Diet" and subsequent single "Happiness Reigns" provided one of the best music videos of 2018. Dive into it below along with one of my favorite songs of the decade "Sour Silk" and first single "Cinnamon."
