Vinyl Williams
Lionel Williams (aka Vinyl Williams) is a Los Angeles
based artist and musician. His collage art & psych-pop music fuses vast
landscapes, multi-religious symbolism, and the supernatural into a
paradoxical whirlpool of "mysticism and sonic matrices".
Created and performed solely by songwriter, vocalist,
multi-instrumentalist and producer Williams, the debut album Lemniscate unites
these themes into a space cruisin' journey through the tropics of the mind.
On the surface his music is a flood of ideas and imagery,
dashing psyched-out space-rock with layers of kraut and shoegaze. Lead
singles 'Higher Worlds' and 'Stellarscope' are muscular, transcendental-pop
tracks led by frazzled melodies and driving rhythm sections. Digging deeper
into Williams' world, album centerpiece 'Inner Space' and closer 'Follow In
Your Dreams,' reveal more intangible, ethereal qualities; the sound of a
restless creative interweaving concepts to conjure a truly unique and
intuitive experience.
This amorphous sensation is a constant across Williams'
mediums. The 22 year old has also exhibited his similarly surreal art across
New York, Los Angeles, Berlin, and Seoul.
Lemniscate is released on cult London indie No Pain In Pop (Forest Swords, Echo Lake, Grimes, Doldrums) in Europe, and Williams' own Salonislam label for the US.
