Westinghouse Atom Smasher is a post-country band from Pittsburgh, Transylvania. Westinghouse Atom Smasher songs take place in rural dreamstates. “Sheep with silver eyes and sharper teeth” tend fires in tall trees. The day goes away and doesn’t come back. A series of prints and carvings accompany the music.
