I just saw her on the Warsaw gig last year, she just released an EP together with MONO and now she shows her long play debut Forever Blue. You've got to admit that the British artist A.A. Williams takes the guitar scene by storm.
As the title suggests, the album is soaking with sad, melancholic and oftentimes simply depressing atmosphere. The artist takes what's best from artists such as Chelsea Wolfe and genres such as dark American blues but stirs it and rearranges in her own fashion. Let's take the album's opening track All I Asked For (Was to End It All) in which a huge dose of ethereal music goes together with very rock-like guitar riffs and Williams' vocals - calm, quiet, somewhat emotionless but at the same time sad and touching.
The saddest songs make the biggest impression here, like for example Dirt. The artist is able to move without being cringe-worthy or kitschy and it's something that's not always obvious. Another track that draws attention is Fearless the guitars of which can be counted as loud and post-rock-like, vocals turn into metal growl and at the same time maintains everything what's great atmosphere-wise.
Forever Blue costs 7 GBP.
