On the path to his second album The Diet, Cullen Omori relocated from&nbsp;Chicago to Los Angeles and reexamined his whole artistic process. &#8220;On this record,&#8221; says Omori, &#8220;I was like, &#8216;I want a break with the convention that I had steadily been building since releasing music as a teenager.'&#8221;&nbsp;The Diet was recorded with Taylor Locke&nbsp;at Velveteen Laboratory in Los Feliz, in early&nbsp;2017.&nbsp;It&nbsp;represents a new chapter for the former Smith Westerns member, one in which he&nbsp;stretches out his songwriting chops and uses his life experience to craft loose-limbed, hook-filled songs that combine pop appeal with finely&nbsp;sutured&nbsp;lyrics.
