Westerman shares new single "A Lens Turning"

An Inbuilt Fault follows Westerman's 2020 debut Your Hero Is Not Dead.

The new track follows previously released singles "Take", "CSI: Petralona", and "Idol; RE-run", and is accompanied by a video directed and animated by Edwin Burdis.

While first working solo through a period of isolation in Italy in 2020 and 2021, on the forthcoming album, a chance meeting with Big Thief’s James Krivchenia at a show in London changed this. Westerman decided to take a leap of faith and collaborate with the drummer and an extended crew of Los Angeles associates to flesh out his new songs.

Westerman has also announced a headline UK and European tour starting in October and going into mid-November. The tour kicks off with a run of nine UK dates including London’s Hackney Church on 26 October, followed by some European dates. These shows will follow his first North American tour in four years.
