WESLEY GONZALEZ PIECE OF MIND

Following on from 'I Am A Telescope', former Let's Wrestle front man Wesley Gonzalez, drops the second single from his upcoming album Excellent Musician (Out June 30th on Moshi Moshi). 'Piece of Mind' is a jaunty combination of brassy horns, funky bass guitar and woozy synthesizers, which dance alongside Gonzalez's skilled vocal melodies and brutally honest lyrics. Wesley said, “I guess this song is about trying to not be bitter about stuff, especially music. It’s very easy to become embittered making music and hanging out with a lot of other musicians, thinking that you produce better work than someone you may know, who is perhaps doing better than yourself. It’s positive in the fact that I guess it’s me turning a corner in my thinking on music. It’s not fully enlightened as I still can get jealous, so I tried to be honest in the lyrics and not be fully positive – as that would be untrue!” Wesley will play a headline show at The Finsbury in North London on June 30th to celebrate the release of the new album. - HLMX
