About this item

Lionel "Vinyl" Williams is an American multimedia artist based in Los Angeles, his music is deeply intertwined with his other media of expression (graphic design, interactive website and videos) with whom he shapes a consistent immersive new-age-infused psychedelic universe

Vinyl Williams' celestial pop is part of the construction of his own 'Cosmopolis', an ideal city, where the skyline is drawn by marvellous organic architecture and monumental ancient structures, where while walking on twisted paths, you can hear indistinctly lush vocals, iridescent gauzy keyboard harmonies, and rolling rhythms. Without acknowledging it, you are floating, your soul can ramble, free to imagine.

Musically, 'Cosmopolis' is a synthesis of Williams' craze, his contemporary dreampop production, 60s sunshine pop influences, Brasilian Tropicália hints, jazz chords, and complex arrangement. He continues to dig deep into his parallel universe, which he has developed with a rare consistency. From chaos emerges harmony and incredible pop songs.
