“[Westerman] spreads himself wide across his music, forming a tapestry of rich textures and deep introspection. His songs become small fires on a starless night.” – Pitchfork
Westerman today releases the new single/video, “About Leaving”, the second track from his upcoming album, A Jackal’s Wedding, out 7 November 2025 via Partisan Records. Written largely in Athens and recorded over five weeks on the Greek island of Hydra with producer Marta Salogni (Björk, The xx, Sampha, English Teacher), A Jackal’s Wedding is deeply influenced by place and the sensation of being a newcomer again and again.
Westerman wraps fragments of his own experiences in characters – some trepidation of unknown possibilities and some invigorated. As each of these characters embark on their own voyages, so too do the snapshots sketch an arc for Westerman himself, growing to a newfound sense of comfort with the ground constantly shifting beneath our feet, the idea that everything is always changing around us out of our control.
“I see this as a process of continually learning,” he says. Everything is in motion, Westerman leaving and revisiting farflung homes, evolving then evolving again, seeing things that shouldn’t exist, returning with an album that could only come from him.
