Spencer Crandall Unleashes Fully Loaded Album “Western”

26-stop Western Tour is underway; sells out Seattle, LA, NYC and more

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Dynamic independent Country artist Spencer Crandall releases his highly anticipated fourth studio album, Western, available everywhere now. A musical self-portrait of Crandall’s autobiography in song, Western follows the hero’s unapologetically honest journey to a life well lived.  Capturing the whole arc of a modern American coming-of-age story in six chapters within the album – Scorpion, Mustang, Revolver, Pickaxe, Desert and Gold – Western poses big questions and explores deeply personal themes such as addiction, therapy, the struggle for balance and a healthy sense of self.

Combining pop’s untamed energy with the confessional lyricism of Country throughout its 20 tracks, 18 of which are credited to Crandall himself, Western concludes today after beginning its rollout this summer. The completed project boasts over 38M streams heading into its opening day, receiving nods from Spotify and YouTube billboards in Nashville, Tenn. with critical acclaim pouring in.

“My new album, Western, is more than a collection of songs. Western is a piece of my heart. It’s my diary about the human condition and what it looks like to voraciously chase your dreams with no plan B,” shares Crandall. “I couldn’t be more excited to have the whole project out, and my biggest hope is that Western finds people wherever they may be on their journey and helps them with whatever obstacles they’re going through.”

LISTEN TO WESTERN HERE

Western’s first chapter, Scorpion, tackles the struggle of early 20s life, tracks like “K[no]w Better,” with its pulsating ’80s pop undercurrent, steel guitar and Crandall’s razor-sharp vocal, follows Crandall’s journey to self-improvement. In Mustang, Crandall then sets himself free, taking the reins of life on positivity-laced tunes like “Didn’t Do” – which counts playing it safe as life’s biggest risk. Revolver takes aim at a true-life breakup saga, with phones and social media weaponized as ammunition, and is home to focus track “Girls Like You” which has already raked in 1.6M streams and counting.

Pickaxe digs into finding what you truly want – tempering a soul of hardened steel to get there, and covers Shania Twain’s classic “You’re Still the One” in honor of his parents and their 40+ year marriage. “Side of the Stage” displays Crandall confessing that he still has blind spots, occupying the Desert chapter with a desolate Country-pop ballad all about finding balance. The album’s final chapter, Gold, enjoys the self-acceptance that comes with “doing the work” – even delivering a message to himself we could all learn from, and the engagement-ready love song “Our Forever,” detailing the emotions behind getting on one knee.

Serving as a vulnerable display of Crandall’s biggest dreams and fears in song form, Western reveals a deeper level of authenticity and relatability from the “accomplished singer-songwriter” on the “cusp of Country music stardom” (People). Since breaking into the Country scene in 2016, Crandall has expanded his stout fanbase, dubbed “The Stadium Gang,” to north of 3M strong. Quickly becoming one of Country music’s most buzzed about independent artists, the streaming sensation’s album release comes and he surpasses a quarter of a billion global artist streams, notching over 175K streams per day with a proven trajectory.

After stepping into the circle for his Grand Ole Opry debut last month, the Denver, Colo. native’s 26-stop headlining tour, the Western Tour, heads to the West Coast for its second weekend. Crandall will appear at Stoney’s Rockin’ Country in Las Vegas tonight before Saturday’s sold-out show at Los Angeles’ Hotel Cafe. Fans can catch Crandall in Nashville, Tenn. on Nov. 15 at EXIT/IN.
