With a musical pedigree that includes composer John Williams, Vinyl Williams seems pretty set up for his chosen profession. This July 24, he’ll release his new LP, Into, on Toro Y Moi’s label, Company Records, and with synthed out and atmospheric tracks like “World Soul,” it’s easy to see why Williams has made music his business. A.V. Club readers can check out that vibe for themselves, with all of Into streaming below. A blend of funky beats and trippy psychedelia, Into is an album unto its itself.
Vinyl Williams is also touring this summer and fall, and a full list of dates is below.
