As the Moon Rests

Description

A.A. Williams returns with ‘As the Moon Rests’, her second album with Bella Union. It’s the follow up to 2020’s ‘Forever Blue’, the London-based singer-songwriter’s album debut, a brilliantly dramatic, unique and intimate walk on the dark side that fused bold and smouldering hues of post-rock and post-classical. By turns, it was glacial and volcanic, blissful and violent, through moments of disarming quiet and explosive volume, equally appealing to alt-rock and metal camps. ‘Traditionally, your second album is the worry: you don’t want to create something that people don’t like as much,’ A.A. Williams contends. ‘But I must create music I like myself, and I’ve had more time on this record; I’ve felt more confidence and conviction. ‘As The Moon Rests’ is heavier and softer, there’s more texture and weight, and a string ensemble. It’s ‘Forever Blue’ times ten!’
