Westerman appears with brilliant acoustic folk ditty “Harvard”
Little is known about Westerman. But this debut outing suggests the London singer is packed with potential and full of assured folk songwriting talent.
Aligning himself somewhere amongst José González, C Duncan and Eaves, the newcomer creates a warm, bucolic atmosphere thanks to his intricate, twanging acoustic guitar work, gently thudding percussion and a reverb-heavy, storytelling vocal that soars away above it all.
“My grades are fine but they’re not good / And everybody’s coming back from Harvard”, he muses with a beautifully unexpected chord progression, as the tale weaves effortlessly towards its conclusion.
