FORM PRESENTS… AA Williams w/ support from Spotlights.Having made her debut live appearance at the prestigious Roadburn Festival in theNetherlands off the back of a self-titled EP, A.A. Williams has since toured across theglobe with the likes of Cult of Luna, Explosions In The Sky, Russian Circles, Sleep Tokenand The Sisters of Mercy, as well as establishing herself as a headline artist – including a show at the iconic Queen Elizabeth Hall inside London’s Southbank Centre.Standout festival appearances have dovetailed with two album releases – 2020’s’Forever Blue’ and 2022’s ‘As The Moon Rests’, which both received widespread critical acclaim and put A.A. Williams firmly in the slipstream of the wave of female vocalists taking textured, epic and folk-rooted heavy music into new and progressive directions. A BBC session at the legendary Maida Vale Studios only bolstered Williams’ credentials.Not one to rest on her laurels, she has also released a selection of ‘companion pieces’ -a collaborative single with Japanese post-rock titans MONO (‘Exit In Darkness’); a solocovers collection recorded during 2020’s pandemic lockdown – ‘Songs From Isolation’ – that garnered praise from The Cure’s Robert Smith and Smashing Pumpkins’ BillyCorgan for her unique take on their original songs; and perhaps most impressively,2021’s ‘arco’ saw the multi-instrumentalist completely rework her debut EP from rockinstrumentation to a string ensemble, utilising her classical training and arrangement skills to stunning effect.
