"Deluxe Gatefold 2LP includes the album on limited rainbow starburst vinyl and a digital download card including the album and links to interactive pieces.\nLionel Williams leaves behind the murkier lo-fi production of his 2012 debut full-length, Lemniscate, for the somnambulant pop of Into. The new album\u2014out July 24th on Chaz Bundick\u2019s (Toro Y Moi, Les Sins) Company Records\u2014moves Lionel\u2019s Vinyl Williams alias into a more vivid, multi-colored dream world. Unlike the dramatic film scores of his grandfather (famed composer and conductor John Williams), this 25-year-old Los Angeles-based musician\u2019s songs are far more introspective, effortlessly blending ambient, electronic, Krautrock, psychedelia and shoegaze influences into a uniquely visceral listening experience that often mirrors the surrealism of his own collagebased visual artwork.\nLike staring at the intricate geometry of a nautilus shell through a rippling aqua lens, Into\u2019s detailed arrangements shimmer across the stereo field with Williams\u2019 breathy, yearning melodies bathed in warm reverb. The gentle, rhythmic percolation of breezy album opener \u201CGold Lodge\u201D imagines CAN at their most ethereal, as if vying for a release on 4AD Records during the label\u2019s halcyon days. Similarly, Cocteau Twins-esque guitars ring above the pulsing kosmische atmosphere of \u201CHall of Records\u201D and then later, the 10-plus-minute \u201CXol Rumi\u201D takes a detour across the Autobahn using Neu!\u2019s motorik precision. Elsewhere, the celestial \u201CGreatest Lives\u201D shuffles through a thick, gooey cloud of synths, while instrumental \u201CThe Tears of an Inanimate Object\u201D pays tribute to the spiritually minded explorations of Alice Coltrane and Dorothy Ashby, with astral harp strums guiding the light electronic accompaniment.\nFrom the mysterious, nocturnal drive of first single \u201CWorld Soul\u201D to the gauzy, space-age funk of \u201CAllaz,\u201D Vinyl Williams nicely blurs the line between melodicism and experimentation, his impressionistic song-craft being as inviting as it is beguiling. In this modern era of shuffled playlists and musically short attention spans, Into is that rare album created to be listened to uninterrupted from beginning to end, and one that is sure to reveal itself again and again after each successive play."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
