Trespassers William was an American indie rock band formed in 1997 from Orange County, California. The band released three albums from 1997 to 2006, relocating to the SoDo/Capitol Hill area of Seattle, Washington before their third album Having. Trespassers William disbanded in 2012, reuniting in 2020 for the release of a non-album single. The band underwent numerous lineup changes, never retaining the same roster for more than one album. Trespassers William most recently consisted of vocalist Anna-Lynne Williams and guitarist/keyboardist Matt Brown as a duo. Williams releases solo material under the moniker Lotte Kestner. History Formed in Orange County, California in 1997, Trespassers William released four albums and two EPs. Their debut album Anchor (1999) appeared on Sonikwire Records and is now out of print. It features a more alternative country and dream pop sound. Different Stars was self-released in 2002 and was re-released twice—most recently on Nettwerk Records on October 19, 2004. The self-released version of Different Stars caught the attention of former Cocteau Twins member Simon Raymonde, who signed Trespassers William to his Bella Union record label. In early 2004, the band moved to Seattle, leaving behind drummer Jamie Williams, who did not want to make the move with the band. Their third album, Having, (mixed by The Flaming Lips producer Dave Fridmann) was released on February 28, 2006. In February 2007, American webzine Somewhere Cold voted Having No. 10 on their 2006 Somewhere Cold Awards Hall of Fame. The band toured the United States and Europe several times, including a UK tour with Damien Rice and a festival appearance in Spain with Morrissey. The band's music attracted modest press coverage and exposure, most notably in British magazines such as NME and Uncut and was featured on such television shows as One Tree Hill, The O.C., Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Felicity, and movies such as A Love Song for Bobby Long and Annapolis. Trespassers William also opened for The Chameleons lead singer Mark Burgess, Lisa Germano, Stereolab and James singer Tim Booth. Williams provided guest vocals for The Chemical Brothers' 2005 song "Hold Tight London" and Black Swan Lane's 2007 song "Fakers". Brown and Williams turned Trespassers William into a duo by 2009 as "the constants in the history of the band." Williams would later admit that she felt the constant lineup changes "weakened the band." After the release of The Natural Order of Things EP in 2009,
