Good Willsmith are an experimental trio from Chicago consisting of Doug Kaplan, Maxwell Allison, and Natalie Chami. Their free-flowing, improvised music utilizes guitars, electronics, looping devices, and vocals, creating a playful, sometimes intense wall of sound that draws from ambient, noise, psychedelia, and numerous other influences.

The trio started performing together in early 2012, around the same time Kaplan and Allison (also of post-rock group the Big Ship) founded Hausu Mountain. The label issued cassettes and CD-Rs by both Good Willsmith and the Big Ship, as well as the members' respective solo projects (Kaplan records as MrDougDoug, Allison is known as Mukqs, and Chami goes by TALsounds). Through numerous releases and constant gigging (including shows with Negativland, Wolf Eyes, Mark McGuire, and dozens of other artists), Good Willsmith earned acclaim, as Hausu Mountain became one of the most buzzed-about experimental labels. The group made their vinyl debut in 2014, when Mexican label Umor Rex issued The Honeymoon Workbook. Returning to Hausu Mountain (and the cassette format) for 2015's Snake Person Generation, Good Willsmith's second LP for Umor Rex, Things Our Bodies Used to Have, appeared in 2016. Exit Future Heart, a collaboration with Takako Minekawa and Dustin Wong, was released in 2018. HausLive 2, recorded at Chicago's Sleeping Village venue, was issued in 2021. ~ Paul Simpson, Rovi
