about

If you plopped Arthur Russell into early 90s Manchester among The Stone Roses, Happy Mondays, and the like, you might end up with something like Believers. Wesley Powell, the artist behind the name, throws a myriad of influences from krautrock to house to shoegaze into a pot and boils them down into some version of pop. Languid vocals drift atop layers of plinky guitars and synth swells, all of it undergirded by heavy bass riffs and drum machines.

Piecemeal, Believers’ third release, is a transitional record that both marks the end of the collaborative era with brother Tyler Powell and welcomes the next with Wesley going it alone, this time with a few more studio toys. On this album, he nestles a variety of nuanced subjects, from materialism and globalization to aging and depression, into dense stacks of intertwined rhythm and melody. What comes out is something welcoming and accessible, depicting that particular sense of melancholy that time and disillusionment instill.

Love your work, guy. I'm getting It Looks Sad. vibes and I'm loving it. The title track is such a cool song, catchy and catches the theme and title of the song perfectly. But the whole album does an excellent job of this, Bunkbed and Straight to TV Movies are magical. Alexander Tome
