Westerman confirms his status as the new prince of indie-folk
Westerman made his mark on the alternative indie-pop world 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 COVID-related psychological turmoil and a move to Athens, the genius folk songwriter delivers a luminous, confessional second album. His fortuitous encounter with James Krivchenia of Big Thief allowed him to expand and enrich his productions; the result is a kind of very personal tale, built from fragments of torn songs and spontaneous moments, which combine beautifully to tell a story whose form becomes clearer with each listen. A moment of grace.
