New Music: Vinyl Williams- Open Your Mind

LA based psychedelic musician Vinyl Williams is quickly become one of my favourite new artists of 2012. Of course, I do have music ADD and that may change tomorrow, but that doesn't belittle the fact that this guy is good. I've already written a lot about Williams so there is no need to introduce him again-you can read more through my posts on his earlier singles, Higher World and Harmonious Change here and here- but I did learn something new about the artist today. According to The Guardian he is the grandson of Oscar winning composer John Williams (Star Wars). Cool!

Open Your Mind is the third track to be featured from Williams' forthcoming album, Lemniscate and probably the most sullen and dreamy. The beautiful track warbles for a couple of minutes before morphing into an M83 like three minute ambient fade out. Listen below

Lemniscate will be available November 13th via Salonislam.

New Music: Vinyl Williams- Higher Worlds+ Music Video

Back in September, we first profiled Los Angeles based psych rock artist Vinyl Williams and his brilliant single Harmonious Change, which will be part of his re-released 2011 album Lemniscate. Now Wiiliams has come out with another track from the album titled Higher Worlds and an accompanying music video. Unlike the first single, this track features simple guitars backed by a krautrock machine gun beat.

The music video features various religious symbols and Williams made the video look antiquated by passing VHS filters over 3D animation. Watch and listen below:

New Music: Vinyl Williams- Harmonious Change

Vinyl Williams, aka Lionel Williams, is a L.A. based psych pop prophet who makes tripped out layers mixed with interweaving melodies that will have you reaching for the stars after one listen. Williams is offering up a free download of the track Harmonious Change which will be included as a bonus track on the CD version of his album Lemniscate. The album will be re-released on November 13th on Williams' own label Salonislam. In honour of his first name I recommend you buy the vinyl record.

Listen to the track below or head over to Soundcloud to grab the free download.
