Vinyl Williams - Aeterna (2023) Hi-Res

A psychedelic ethereal seventh album from LA-based musician/artist Vinyl Williams. Imagine being performed to in a vast heavenly hall with resultant reverb and you’re part of the way to rapturous enlightenment of the celestial kind.

It’s clear that Williams has a sound he likes; jangly guitars, echoey vocals, shimmering jewels strummed in elysian evermore. Self-Fulfilling Prophecy stands out though, because it has a harder edge and is embellished with the occasional sonic shot weaving in and out of the spheres of your consciousness chased by your laser toting ego. The truly angelic closing track Electric Electric delights also, and is a rather fitting way to end as your waking world slips away with the phasing and echoing guitar.
