This L.A.-based trio blends electronic sounds, intriguing digital textures, odd meters and catchy melodies into a singular indie rock whole. They are esoteric and eclectic without being snobbish.

The final single “Hell Is Dull” is what’s in the pipe you should be smoking. Like a lot of “Kali Yuga Kama Sutra,” it has an irresistible groove. And the synths maybe be woozy, but Bombadil’s vocals are immaculate — another calling card of the album, along with some serious bass and drum gymnastics.

Westerner is renovating several genres into a sonic structure entirely of their own. The album truly doesn’t have a twin, a hard feat to pull off in this day and age. They’re achieving singularity with ease.

SANTa monica daily press, live show review

Friday at Harvelle’s...you can get four bands for 10 bucks, 9 p.m. but the one you don’t want to miss is Westerner, one of my favorite local bands.”

Built on a scratchy riff, the slow-burning “Frog” oozes imagination, and, yes, it croaks. Even better, “Frog” rhymes with “dog,” a friend who turns up in the song to guard the house.

Westerner took the stage by storm, they were extremely captivating with a lot of jumping and movement all set-long, while the music brought a lot of things in mind at the same time, from ’70s psychedelia to funk.
