West

Polished 90s pop-rock textures meeting bruised baritone vulnerability. A collaborative peak where jangly guitars illuminate the shadows of urban loneliness.

May 5, 1997 · Warner Bros. Records

A sophisticated blend of mid-tempo pop brightness and deep, baritone-led introspection.

Moments Worth Listening For

The shimmering guitar arpeggios on 'Free of Harm' that provide a surprisingly upbeat counterpoint to the weary vocals.

The way the arrangement swells during the chorus of 'Helium', creating a sense of floating that mirrors the title.

The stark, intimate delivery of 'Old Photographs' where the instrumentation recedes to let the lyrical detail breathe.
