Following his 2020 debut album Your Hero is Not Dead, South London-born and Athens-based introspective folk artist Westerman announces the release of his first offering in two years this week – ‘Idol; RE-run‘ via Partisan / Play It Again Sam. The new track, produced by James Krivchenia (Big Thief) and Westerman, was composed shortly after the storming of the US Capitol and is ‘a meditation on false prophets and poisonous internet echo chambers, and an exorcism of sociological frustration‘.
Westerman will hit the road across the UK later this month with support from Laura Misch ahead of his first US tour in four years in May 2023. You can pick up tickets for all of Westerman’s upcoming live shows here.
