Wesley Gonzalez
for fans of… Metronomy, Pulp, Hunky Dory-era Bowie
British singer/songwriter Wesley Gonzalez first made a name for himself as the enigmatic leader of Let’s Wrestle, a sharp-witted London trio whose tuneful and eccentric punk earned critical accolades and a devoted audience.
Expanding from the guitar-driven music of his former band, Gonzalez fielded an interesting concoction of classic ’70s-influenced pop, soul, and indie rock for his solo project, which he described as being influenced by Donny Hathaway and Sly & the Family Stone. Gonzalez released his debut solo record ‘Excellent Musician’ in 2017 and his follow-up LP ‘Appalling Human’ arrived three years later in June 2020. His third studio album, ‘Wax Limousine’, was released in March 2022 and included the singles ‘Greater Expectations’ (w/ Rose Elinor Dougall).
