Somewhere between the spaces occupied by songwriters lies a sound that’s not ordinarily exploited amongst tried and tested musical design. This is where British singer-songwriter, Lloyd Williams, finds his niche. 　　 　　Invoking familiar and traditional folk nuances and rousing lyrical finesse, Williams’s sound strikes parallels with contemporary outfits such as Nick Drake and Bon Iver. Keeping his instrumentation simple and his vocal sheer, it’s his raw ability to elicit and capture a gentle shadow of melancholy within his sound and pin-sharp performance. The result is a glassy tenderness that effortlessly rides on the back of a powerful, fundamental live delivery. 　　 　　Brighton-born Williams polished his musicianship over the years with the typical highs and lows of musical projects, gigs and experimentation. A self-taught musician, his guitar and banjo skills have been heavily informed by the bucolic surrounds of coastal Southeast England. Fine-tuning his musical accent with use of unique open tunings and laterally percussive banjo features, his uncomplicated but provocatively honest formula retains resonance of an ever-present folk heartbeat. 　　 　　In between support slots for artists such as Bob Dylan and The Magic Numbers, gaining a sturdy following in Europe, touring India and Nepal, Williams met John Wood. The producer responsible for immortalising the sound of the late Nick Drake, Fairport Convention and John Martyn, the pair’s recording collaboration holds apposite weight with regard to Williams’s signature sound. 　　 　　Originally released under the Uk band Autumn red RIP/ Popular demand called for a re Release, to add to the rest of the Lloyd Williams Catalogue.
