Nation of Language
Four years on from the release of their unexpectedly self-assured debut album, NYC based Nation of Language have attracted a rapidly growing international audience via their danceable and impassioned take on new wave, post-punk & shoegaze genres. Following the critical acclaim of their their first LP Introduction, Presence, its 2021 follow-up A Way Forward pushed them to a wider audience—landing them their late-night TV debut on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and a string of sold out tours—and their 2023 record Strange Disciple has continued this momentum, landing Rough Trade’s coveted #1 album of the year spot. Now a mainstay atop lists of the best live acts of recent years, the band continue to charge synth-first into their latest chapter as a major festival draw at recent iterations of Austin City Limits Festival, Desert Daze, Pitchfork Festival, Primavera Sound, Corona Capital, Outside Lands, Bonnaroo and many others.

Westerman
Westerman is a London-born, Athens-based artist and songwriter signed to Partisan Records. Known for his thoughtful lyrics and genre-fluid sound, he has earned critical acclaim across two full-length albums and multiple EPs, with support from Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, The Guardian, Stereogum, NPR Music + more.

After building early momentum with a series of singles and the Ark EP (2018), Westerman released his debut album Your Hero Is Not Dead in 2020. Produced with long-time collaborator Bullion (Nathan Jenkins), the album was recorded between Southern Portugal and London and received widespread critical praise. Pitchfork described the album as “excellent,” highlighting its fusion of soft rock, ambient textures, and lyrical introspection. Key tracks included “Blue Comanche,” “Think I’ll Stay,” and the title track, all of which received strong playlisting and airplay support across DSPs and BBC Radio.
Across his career, Westerman has been featured in The New York Times, The FADER, and Clash, and has performed at key festivals including End of the Road and Primavera. His visual collaborations with renowned graphic designer Bráulio Amado have been widely recognized, forming a consistent visual identity across releases.

Westerman will release another new album in 2025, more details on that to come!
