Bleep

Westerman crafted debut LP Your Hero Is Not Dead with the aid of his pal Bullion, and there is certainly plenty of overlap between this record and the deft, thoughtful leftfield pop that has emerged via the latter’s DEEK Recordings of late. Acts like Talk Talk, Prefab Sprout and Steely Dan all exert a clear influence over Westerman’s style, and Westerman’s gentle vocals mean that the Arthur Russell comparisons thrown at him in recent years have some staying power too.
