Before doing this interview I actually had met Wesley on one occassion, only briefly, when I was filming an interview with him in one of the first weeks as an intern at FaceCulture. The Lumineers were already riding high with their hit song "Ho Hey" and their debut album but what struck me about Wesley was how open he was in talking about his life and his music (something that at the time I thought very successful musicians were reluctant to do). The Lumineers have continued to write poignant and honest songs over the years but for me personally album III, the one I was going to interview them about, took it to another level. I've always loved the more narrative style of songwriting, and how III weaves in characters and stories, while also addressing some very relevant and important issues like alcoholism and addiction that are very dear to their own hearts was a joy to listen to. We spoke about dealing with their early success, taking the stigma away from addiction, not shying away form difficult subject, transcending generations, and a lot more! By: Robin HignellSupport the show (https://www.patreon.com/FaceCulture)
