WESTERMAN KEEP TRACK

'Keep Track' is the new single from Westerman, taken from his forthcoming Call And Response EP, due 6 October via Blue Flowers, the label behind exciting fellow newcomer Nilufer Yanya. Drawing on the high quality songwriting influence of Nick Drake and Joan Armatrading, this cut touches on the "human urge for self-documentation", as stripped-back production from Bullion allows for gently gritty guitar to form an increasingly warm and complex bed for Westerman's characteristic, unmistakable vocal, all building to a beautifully bucolic, organic finale. It's another wholly intelligent release from a artist going from strength to strength. -G.O'B
