Formerly a member of the band Smith Westerns, Omori embarked on a successful solo career in 2014. His debut album "New Misery" received critical acclaim for its infectious hooks and heartfelt songwriting. Since then, he has continued to release music that resonates with fans around the world.
Drawing inspiration from artists like Christopher Owens and Jacco Gardner, Cullen Omori's music transports listeners to dreamy landscapes filled with shimmering guitars and lush arrangements. Whether performing as a solo artist or collaborating with other talented musicians, *Omori* consistently delivers performances that are both mesmerizing and unforgettable.

Cullen Omori knows it's a false cliche to say there are no second acts in American lives but after the 2014 breakup of his acclaimed band the Smith Westerns living that cliche was his greatest fear. His solo debut 'New Misery' is a direct challenge to that anxiety an album that goes beyond the glam punch of the Smith Westerns to new sounds new sources of inspiration and greater self awareness Synths play a much larger role in Omori's new music than in the Smith Westerns' guitar fueled rock as do a wide range of influences including Roxy Music INXS, Spiritualized, Wilco, Garbage, Hall and Oates, Kate Bush, U2 and Sparks There's also a more deliberate pop streak inspired by the top 40 radio that would play while Omori worked at a medical supply company cleaning stretchers and wheelchairs.
