Westerman – An Inbuilt Fault (2023)
FLAC (tracks) 24 bit/96 kHz | Time – 44:24 minutes | 868 MB | Genre: Art Pop, Indie Pop, Electronic
Studio Masters, Official Digital Download | Front Cover | © Partisan – Play It Again Sam
Westerman — the London-born, Athens-based pop maverick — returns with his new album, An Inbuilt Fault.
The album’s nine songs took shape throughout the depths of the pandemic, and soundtrack Westerman’s reckoning with two years of intense isolation, loneliness, heartbreak, and dread. Through it all, the album is visceral and live-sounding, full of the sound of breath and the idiosyncratic gestures of acoustic instruments. It creates a spatial feeling, sounding like musicians assembled in a room, passing evolving ideas back and forth. Co-produced with producer and percussionist James Krivchenia (Big Thief), An Inbuilt Fault musically references everything from Talk Talk’s delightfully strange and ethereal brand of pop, David Byrne’s bag of rhythmic tricks, Cat Stevens’ fireside warmth and much more.
An Inbuilt Fault follows Westerman’s acclaimed 2020 debut Your Hero Is Not Dead, a graceful and self-reflective project which earned him a spot as one of the most talked about new artists of the year thanks to profiles from Pitchfork (‘Rising’), Stereogum (‘Artist To Watch’), and Rolling Stone (‘Artist You Need To Know’).

“With our new album, we wanted to not try so hard. Instead we wanted to dig deep from our past and pull from music we listened to growing up. In the end, we got a body of work that’s a little heavier, more raw, and way more emotional and honest than anything we’ve done in the past.”

Voces8, Eric Whitacre – Home (2023)
FLAC (tracks) 24 bit/96 kHz | Time – 01:12:51 minutes | 1,24 GB | Genre: Classical
Studio Masters, Official Digital Download | Front Cover | © Decca Music Group Ltd.
Two branches of choral royalty entwine with majestic harmony on this release from Grammy-winning composer Eric Whitacre and acclaimed vocal ensemble Voces8. The album includes a world premiere, ‘All Seems Beautiful to Me’, and a new recording of Whitacre’s deeply moving 2019 cantata ‘The Sacred Veil’. The five-minute work ‘All Seems Beautiful to Me’ is based on a poem by Walt Whitman (from ‘Song of the Open Road’) celebrating the human spirit’s capacity for generosity and growth. It was commissioned by the United States Air Force Band and here receives its world premiere recording. Also included is a new recording of one of Whitacre’s most frequently performed and much loved pieces, ‘The Seal Lullaby’. The album also includes ‘Sing Gently’ and ‘Go, Lovely Rose’. The former was composed during lockdown specially for Whitacre’s Virtual Choir, made up of over 17,500 singers from 124 different countries. The latter was Whitacre’s first ever composition, written 30 years ago, and thus the album is also, in part, a joyful celebration of his three decades as a composer. The longest work is the twelve-movement, hour-long 2019 cantata ‘The Sacred Veil’ for choir, cello (Emma Denton), and piano (Christopher Glynn). The text, by Whitacre’s close friend and long-time collaborator Charles Anthony Silvestri, commemorates the death of the poet’s young wife Julie from ovarian cancer. It journeys from the growth of their love, through the birth of their children, to their struggle with the illness. One particularly striking section ‘You Rise, I Fall’ involves extraordinary descending and ascending tone-clusters mirroring the emotional states of the dying woman and her husband.

Studio Masters, Official Digital Download | Front Cover | © Anachron Sounds
Five years after “Noire”, VNV Nation are back with a new studio album: “Electric Sun” will be released in four different formats in April.
Mastermind Ronan Harris is currently on a big tour to present some songs from the new album live. The predecessor “Noire” was able to take a sensational fourth place in the German album charts. Electric Sun could stop this success – enough sales formats are offered to the fans anyway.
The new album is in Ronan Harris’ words: “…the product of change and reflection, love, loss, toil, not-toil, learning and a pinch of soul-searching”. In German: “The product of change and reflection, love, loss, toil, non-toil, learning and a pinch of soul searching.“
