An Inbuilt Fault

Description

Westerman confirms his status as the new prince of indie-folkWesterman made his mark on the world of alternative indie-pop in 2020 with his debut album Your Heroe Is Not Dead (2020) - noted by Pitchfork (Rising Artist) and Rolling Stone (Artist You Need To Know); after two years of psychological turmoil linked to covid and his move to Athens, the brilliant folk songwriter delivers a luminous second confessional album. His chance encounter with James Krivchenia of Big Thief allowed him to broaden and enrich his productions; the result is a kind of very personal tale, built from torn fragments of songs and spontaneous moments, which combine beautifully to tell a story whose form becomes clearer with each listen. A moment of grace.
