Westerman (full name Will Westerman) is releasing a new album, An Inbuilt Fault, this Friday via Partisan. Now he has shared the album’s fourth single, “A Lens Turning,” via a music video. Edwin Burdis directed and animated the video. Watch it below, followed by Westerman’s previously announced upcoming tour dates, as well as some newly announced European shows.

Previously Westerman shared the album’s lead single, “CSI: Petralona.” Then he shared the album’s third single, “Take,” via a music video. “Take” was one of our Songs of the Week. An Inbuilt Fault includes “Idol; RE-run,” a new single Westerman shared last year.

An Inbuilt Fault is Westerman’s second album. His debut album, Your Hero is Not Dead, came out in 2020 via Partisan, and made it to #23 on our Top 100 Albums of 2020 list.

For An Inbuilt Fault, Westerman worked with James Krivchenia of Big Thief, who co-produced the album with him via recordings in Los Angeles that built on demos Westerman recorded in Italy.

Check out our interview with Westerman, which originally appeared in Issue 67 of our print issue.
