Kali Yuga Kama Sutra, Westerner's second studio album, sees the band moving closer to the pop sensibilities it has always teased while still embracing its weirdness.  The duality in the title of the album feels apt since the first half sounds like it could be the soundtrack to seduction, while the second half is preoccupied with the things that hide in the shadows.

A sexy, electro track that's like a mix between Massive Attack and Led Zeppelin.  

Soft Playground

Westerner is an indie rock band with neo-psychedelic and synth pop flavors in the vein of Foals or Glass Animals. Their songs are at once danceable and mesmerizing. Funky beats and occasional electronics are applied to a showy indie-rock style that can either be danced to or appreciated on a purely musical level. Some very savvy pop tunes are deftly mixed with space and synth rock elements. It’s a compliment to say that their music is hard to compare to anybody else’s, but this is definitely life-force-celebrating music, both exuberant and infectious.

They've racked up over 90k followers on TikTok, spins on LA's KCSN 88.5FM and Amazing Radio (Tobi Lynn, Jose Galvan), and rave reviews from publications like BuzzBandsLA and American Pancake. They currently work with world-famous mastering engineer Vlado Meller (Kanye West, Paul McCartney), and mixing engineer Jules de Gasperis (Low Hum, James Supercave).

The trio consists of Cooper Bombadil on vocals, guitar and synth, Brandon Valerino on bass, synth and backing vocals, and Mike Gattshall on drums and samples.  Their debut album, "Unreal City," was a sci-fi concept album composed of catchy pop songs, surreal sounds, and strange characters. Starting in 2020, the band began releasing a new song every month. 2022 will see the release of their new studio album, "Kali Yuga Kama Sutra," on June 24th through Coconut Spaceship Records. They will also release animated music videos for every song on Unreal City culminating in a psychedelic, musical movie in the tradition of Pink Floyd’s The Wall, or Heavy Metal.
