Lloyd Williams is a British songwriter. He came to
my attention via Richard Hughes of Keane.
Primarily considered a folk musician, Williams uses
both guitar and banjo to create his sound. There is a quietness to the music,
almost receding enough to be haunting. Delicate textures accentuate, as on
"No Silence Left". One notable exception is the lively plucking on
"Long Way Down".
Negativity feels prevalent in the music - a darker
sensibility - which is not exactly unusual for folk or roots music, but it
feels more modern in this case, which may make it more accessible for some
audiences.
