Joe Westerlund- "Tem"

In a whirlwind of rhythmic audacity, percussionist Joe Westerlund’s new instrumental track “Tem,” from the forthcoming album Curiosities from the Shift, clangs and bangs with the vitality of some extra-limbed species, its singular meter beckoning both the serene introspection of a spa and the frenetic ecstasy of a dancefloor. Collaborating with the likes of Sam Gendel, Libby Rodenbough, and Califone’s Tim Rutili, Westerlund’s intricate and propulsive grooves defy the constraints of earthly time, leaving listeners entranced in its peculiar, hypnotic orbit.
