Song of the Day - December 20, 2005

Trespassers William's Different Stars is music meant for a day of gentle rain showers and lonely walks in the dark of night. Evoking the sound of Mazzy Star and Red House Painters, lead singer Anna-Lynne Williams creates lyrical dreamy vocals that float over the psychedelic space country sounds created by the band. "Lie in the Sound" starts out with a softly strummed acoustic guitar, that is joined by a reverb laden electric model to create that astral country rock sound mentioned earlier. It is hard to believe that Trespassers William hail from California, the land of eternal sunshine and the Beach Boys, yet maybe their music is a reaction to their environment, a revolt so to speak. Whatever it is, I adore their brooding, melancholy sad songs. Click here to listen.
