"A Year of Sincere"
The West has always been the place where dreams come true, the place where people go to build a utopia or escape constraint; in the U.S., the West has always meant hope. The semi-religious crusade of Manifest Destiny terminates at the coast of the Pacific, but still persists through the grand narcissism of Hollywood. For hundreds of years people migrated west in an attempt to act out their fantasies of personal freedom. From cowboys to showgirls, we are all victims of that idealism, and California is full of stories, escapist ethics, and ill-conceived decisions. Western is a band from California.
