Primitive Parts "Miracle Skin"

Let's go to the movies
Pretend like were moving
Up on the screen look at us now!
Lets skip to the ending

I won’t make you ask me how my  day went... 

Isn’t it funny
I’m losing my money
sitting around waiting for the clouds 
for it to get sunny 

I don't think we'll laugh about where our time went....

don’t think you could help me
my hearts not beating
I just wanna out, I’m making plans
with all that i can

You won't have to ask me how my day went

Isn't It Funny?

Singularity

The Cure

LIONEL WILLIAMS (aka Vinyl Williams) is a Los Angeles based artist and musician. His collage art & psyche-pop music fuses vast landscapes, multi-religious symbolism, and the supernatural into a paradoxical whirlpool — mystical scenes of simultaneity.

Themes are interwoven, ideas and mediums combined to conjure a truly unique and intuitive visual and sonic experience, an effect which was highlighted in an exhibition of Williams’ work in Berlin in January 2012 named ‘Let The Sun Shine In’. As well as having the opportunity to exhibit his mesmerising collages, Williams partook in a series of improvisational sessions with the likes of Electrelane’s Verity Susman, Annika Henderson (Anika), Jochen Arbeit of Einstuerzende Neubauten, Travis Stewart of Machinedrum & more, to project the full synaesthetic effect of his visions and sounds. 

From there, Williams and his band mates ventured even further from home, embarking on a journey that took in the sights and sounds of S. Korea while supporting Toro Y Moi on tour, as well as an exhibition which included 2 of Lionel's artworks.

Williams is now set to unveil an EP entitled Ultimate World - a collection of songs recorded in the high peaks of Utah - through Warmest Chord, a record label who have released the likes of Slow Talk and Wild Nothing, and a label that, like Williams, emanates the close relationship between the visual and the sonorous. 

The EP will comprise four exclusive new songs, plus two tracks from his downloadable album Lemniscate and a bespoke limited A3 screen print designed by the artist himself. Three songs are available to buy individually, with the fourth song and two bonus tracks only available with a screen print purchase.

It stands to reason that many vital albums come critically close to never being made. The eight-track upshot of doubt, upheaval and financial strain, Stains on Silence by Girls Names is one such release.

Following 2015’s blitzing Arms Around a Vision, and the parting of drummer Gib Cassidy just over a year later, the Belfast band suddenly found themselves facing down a looming void. “There was a finished – and then aborted – mix of the album, which was shelved for six months,” reveals Girls Names frontman Cathal Cully. “We then took a break from all music and went back to full-time work. We chilled out from the stress of rushing the record and not being happy with it, as well as being skint with no impending touring on the cards and constantly having to worry about rent.”

The stumbling blocks that proved a strain became the album’s defining breakthrough. Recorded in various locations including Belfast’s Start Together Studio with Ben McAuley, Cully’s home and the band’s practice space, spontaneous creation, cut-up techniques and self-editing took centre-stage for the first time. "We started tearing the material apart and rebuilding, re-editing and re-recording different parts in my home in early Autumn last year,” says Cully. “When we got them to a place we were happier with we went back into Start Together Studio with Ben McAuley to finalise the mixes to what they are now."

Where AAAV proved a brazen statement of intent, Stains on Silence bounds forth as its feature-length comedown. What could have seen the band buckle became an opportunity for approaching things tabula rasa. During its two-year transmutation, Cully, bassist Claire Miskimmin and guitarist Philip Quinn had a single aim for their fourth album: to make an old-fashioned record clocking in around 30 to 35 minutes in length that made the listener reach straight for repeat. From the Bang Bang bar-summoning swoon of opener '25’ and the submerged disco doom of ‘Haus Proud’ to the rapt, dub-leaning ‘Fragments of a Portrait’, Girls Names have excelled in their goal by forging an LP of synchronous nuance and defiance.

Marked by the presence of drum machines and programming throughout, these eight masterfully-woven tales are once again commandeered by founder Cully, whose words, understated yet defiant, mine purpose and meaning from the mire ("I want to bathe again, I want to swim again / In a pool of twisting bodies, blackened gold." — ‘25’). But while Stains on Silence came critically close to never being made, having lived with it, reconfigured it, and guided its metamorphosis from flickers of inspiration and half-formed schemes, it’s both a statement of pure perseverance, and a head-on confrontation with ambivalence that couldn’t be more assured.
