Excuse Me While I Vanish

Description

William The Conquerors fourth album finds the indie-rock trio firing on all cylinders as frontman Ruarri Joseph confronts the thin line between creativity and madness, inspired by compassion for the real- life angels of the world. Produced by the band in a playground of vintage gear and mixed by Barny Barnicott (Arctic Monkeys, Sam Fender, Kasabian), the res ulting albums ten tra cks marry earworm tunes with insistent, imperious, soaring rock shapes, punctuated by chorus hooks that are simultaneously nuanced and anthemic. Jose phs compelling semi-spoken vocals and swamp-blues-Seattle- scuzz guitars are propelled by the rhythm section of Naomi Holmes (bass) and Harry Harding (drums) as Excuse Me While I Va nish delivers an effortle ssly winning blend of melody and ensemble dynamics, the most accomplished and undeniable William The Conqueror album to date.
