Music News - Marlon Williams To Release Debut Self-Titled Album On April 24
08 April 2015 - 0 Comments
It’s that classic kiwi tale of an escaped homegrown genius returning to his roots, creating a masterpiece, and drinking a beer to celebrate. Only in New Zealand. Or any country that likes beer. So most countries. New Zealand doesn’t have a monopoly on beer. Germany might. They like beer heaps. But this guy isn’t German. He’s a New Zealander. And the story is about music, not beer. So stop fixating on the beer part. Jeez.
Marlon Williams returned to his family home in Lyttelton, NZ, in April 2014 to record his first solo album.
He had relocated to Melbourne a year prior, but decided to make the record at home with his long time producer Ben Edwards at The Sitting Room studios.
Williams says, "it was the same as it has always been. There are 5 doors between the studio and mum's house, so we didn't leave Hawkhurst Road for the entire recording period, except to get beers".
German beers? We’ll never know. It doesn’t matter.
Williams’ intent with this album was to make his voice the centerpiece. He felt that no matter how disparate the style got, he could rely on the tone of his voice to weave everything together.
“It gave me the courage to bring in a noise band, a 60s r’n’b band, then strip it back to guitar and voice” says Williams.
Marlon Williams, a self titled album, is out 24th April.
