“This L.A.-based trio blends electronic sounds, intriguing digital textures, odd meters and catchy melodies into a singular indie rock whole. They are esoteric and eclectic without being snobbish. ”

“The final single “Hell Is Dull” is what’s in the pipe you should be smoking. Like a lot of “Kali Yuga Kama Sutra,” it has an irresistible groove. And the synths maybe be woozy, but Bombadil’s vocals are immaculate — another calling card of the album, along with some serious bass and drum gymnastics.”

“Westerner is renovating several genres into a sonic structure entirely of their own. The album truly doesn’t have a twin, a hard feat to pull off in this day and age. They’re achieving singularity with ease.”

“With an irresistible blend of psychedelic indie-rock, electronica and synth-pop, Californian outfit Westerner could well be one of the most interesting newcomers to emerge this month.”

“Los Angeles based Westerner’s sonic arts is a master class in extra sensory perception. ”

“Wherever Westerner is going, it’s worth climbing aboard for the ride.”

“Friday at Harvelle’s...you can get four bands for 10 bucks, 9 p.m. but the one you don’t want to miss is Westerner, one of my favorite local bands.””

“Built on a scratchy riff, the slow-burning “Frog” oozes imagination, and, yes, it croaks. Even better, “Frog” rhymes with “dog,” a friend who turns up in the song to guard the house.”

“...Westerner is the real deal, four great players, a charismatic vocalist, excellent songs, see them now in cozy Harvelle’s before they start playing bigger venues.””

“Westerner took the stage by storm, they were extremely captivating with a lot of jumping and movement all set-long, while the music brought a lot of things in mind at the same time, from ’70s psychedelia to funk. ”

“...they seem to have appeared from nowhere to emerge as one of the best bands in Los Angeles. ”
