Williams, White / New Violence Ep

Tigerbeat6

New Violence is the first single from the White Williams full-length, Smoke. Along with the standout album track, it features two exclusive new songs, "Violator" and "Satisfaction," and great vocal-driven remixes by Drop the Lime alter-ego Curses! (best known for releases on Para-One's Institubes label from France) and old school Tigerbeat6 favorites Stars as Eyes. This is nostalgic, colorful art-pop with a distinctively original electro edge.  "... But while his tourmates get sweaty with the crowd as they tap away at their electronics, Williams keeps a cool distance. His songs are thin and languorous, with impeccable influences and the sort of calculated disaffection that comes from an MFA in design and a good weed connection. His attitude and vocal timbre have earned him comparisons to Beck, and that's more than fair.... [His] ostensible depthlessness, like that of his forebears, is itself only a facade, and Smoke offers plenty to discover across repeated listens." --Pitchfork, 8.3 rating   "... provides brilliantly catchy tunes with a surprisingly mellow temperament." --SPIN
