It's mentioned upthread. It sounds similar because Bullion produces, and I think also co-writes now and then with Westerman.

the westerman album has grown on me so much. i had to get over how similar to arthur russell the use of his voice is in places, but it's definitely its own thing. i agree with the peter gabriel comparison upthread more than the mark hollis comparison, the synths are kept synthetic despite the kind of rarified spiritual tone achieved on 'blue comanche.'

new Laura Groves single is excellent but she doesn't have her own thread so this one will have to do

(because they've worked together and shared session musicians, not because I picked a thread at random)
bit more goth than her usual sound, i like it

New track released last week (co-produced with Big Thief’s James Krivchenia) so hopefully a new album is on the horizon soon

westerman
i made a thread for westerman seeing as bullion isn't even involved with this

As mentioned elsewhere, Bullion's produced the new Ben Howard album and it's really good.
Moka mentioned Arthur Russell but also some Westerman vibes on tracks like this one:

love bullion but was let down by the single

yeah single is underwhelming, he can do better

not sure I love the song as a standalone, but the way their voices combine in the verses is totally pressing my prefab sprout buttons (even though the chorus sounds more like deacon blue)

the album's out to press and on first listen, it's a huge disappointmentformess, and without the sonic inventiveness that made me so enjoy his work as recently as with Ben Howard

*formless
Oh noes :( I was excited for this one having loved his work in the past years.
