A surreal and dreamlike trip through 22-year-old Vinyl Williams’ (or as his mother knows him, Lionel Williams) psyche, the debut album from the Los Angeles based artist-turned-musician marks his first full-length adventure in aural art. Bursting with sci-fi inflected ideas, ‘Lemniscate’ travels to the very depths of outer space and right back again. From extended galactic fade outs (seven minute closer ‘Follow In Your Dreams’ and predecessor ‘Open Your Mind’) to hypnotic soundscapes (‘Who Are You?’), it’s a record rich in magical ethereality and the restless energy of a constantly creating mind.
