West/Step share new single+video from upcoming album

West/Step is Nathan Whitman, a producer and songwriter based in Pittsburgh, PA. Peace Material is the sophomore effort from the musician that finds him settling into domestic life and looking to the future with bright optimism in seemingly dark times; a psychedelic folk record at heart. Love songs centered around life at home, built from repetitious samples, saturated synthesizers and motorik drum machines. It's headphone music for a peaceful journey into the void.

West/Step share new track at Tiny Mix Tapes

Pittsburgh’s West/Step have just released a new track from their upcoming 8/2 LP, This is Terrifying, with the folks over at Tiny Mix Tapes. "Hackurwayhome" combines elements of shoegaze and bedroom pop. A slow burner, the song unfolds gradually, with hazy guitars, feedback and ambient noise, and echoey vocals all layered on themselves before the drum machine percussion hits around two minutes in. A bit dark, but ultimately hopeful in sound, this track sets the tone for the rest of the album, as Whitman describes it:

"This Is Terrifying is a group of songs that deal directly with facing fear and insecurity.
A reflection on years of personal struggle. Songs and words of hope and light shine through layers of somewhat dark melodies.”

Take a listen below or at Tiny Mix Tapes and pre-order the record on West/Step’s Bandcamp now.
