Believers release new album Piecemeal

“melancholic vocals, snare ghost notes for days, and wonderful guitar patterns complemented with lush echoes.” - Big Takeover

Piecemeal, Believers’ third release, is a transitional record that marks the end of the collaborative era for brothers Wesley and Tyler Powell. It welcomes the next, with Wesley going it alone, this time with a few more studio toys. On this album, Wesley 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.
