PJ Western

About

Hailing from Los Angeles with an arsenal of songs as varied as the American landscape itself, PJ Western creates music of contradictions. His tripped out pop-rock psychedelia evokes a haze of 60’s AM radio as heard emanating from someone else’s car window. Western's first attempts at song were hummed from the crib, not long before a pair of free-spirited parents started him down a path of meditation and philosophical inquiry aimed at embracing the duality of one’s nature. That path proved fruitful, as Western grew into a gentleman outlaw, a drifter with direction, a man locked in a fight to find serenity. Here I Go, Western’s debut album, recorded during the lockdown we all endured, was written in dreams. In visions. Wild but refined, classic but modern. The album is a lot like the man who wrote it: complex, celebratory, grateful. Recorded in LA with the help of some of the finest musicians the city has to offer, Here I Go offers a perspective of the city as heard through the ears of a precocious outsider – someone who may call the city home, but also can’t quite shake the suspicion he might not belong in the Hollywood Hills surrounding him. It’s one man’s level view of a wayward world, ages past and present, spirited and spiritual, a glass of wine beside a busted mirror, a detailed dream found on the gravel path of meditation. A lullaby hummed first from the crib.
