Vinyl Williams: Higher Worlds

Sometimes, the sheer ambition of an artist can win you over, with barely any need to hit play. Vinyl Williams’ Bandcamp biography contains one solitary but quite telling phrase; that his music is “a lifetime music & art venture”. If ever such a statement makes you suspicious, the genre-spanning, prediction-defying ‘Higher Worlds’ is just the affirmation you need. Lionel Williams daringly tightropes from skittering, rhythm-enhancing basslines to stark emotional choruses as if he’s not taking any risks. He is. ‘Lemniscate’ is an album full of risks, yet nearly all of them pay off.
