In the last few decades we’ve seen celestial music work its way into pop. Vinyl Williams is an LA-based artist that has a history of combining these subtle aspects into harmonious pop music & visionary artwork. Collaborating with like-minded self-producers such as Chaz Bear of Toro Y Moi, Morgan Delt, and Ruban Nielsen of UMO, & Samira Winter he’s built a universe of palatial 3D environments, and recorded 6 albums to date.
Vinyl Williams is now onto his 7th album, Aeterna, announced for an August 4th release via Harmony Records. On the album, he leads the listener through his most orchestrated exoplanet experience thus far. You can pre-order the album here.
Today he shares the new single “Self-Fulfilling Prophecy,” which sees Williams at his most upbeat. On it, he lets the celestial vibes wash in and out of a fast paced slice of back shelf, vintage-store pop. Check out the new single, and you can also find it on YouTube.
Coming from a long line of LA-based musicians, Williams follows the feelings of Love, Brian Wilson, Strawberry Alarm Clock, and producer/arrangers like Curt Boettcher and Burt Bacharach to create his own lush sunshine pop paradise. One can also easily notice the many inspirations of Brazilian masterminds such as Arthur Verocai, Lo Borges, Nelson Angelo, as well as British dream pop / shoegaze production of Robin Guthrie and A.R. Kane. The many-riveted layers create dreamscapes of pure imagination.
Williams has also invented his own system of understanding relationships, which is the music of birthdays. An app will be launched this year – allowing users to hear the precise microtonal music of their birthdays, and receive descriptions of what the intervals might mean.
