Since 2010, he has been releasing music as Vinyl Williams. After three albums released on No Pain In Pop (Lemniscate, 2012) and Chaz Bundick's Company (Into, 2015 and Brunei, 2016), Vinyl Williams joined French label Requiem Pour Un Twister for his fourth album Opal released in 2018. Throughout his art, both musical and visual, Lionel Williams explores the syncretistic territory between reality and dreams, between earth and space. \"Music is a chance to transmute qualitative opposites into the center, to dissolve all illusions of duality\", he says. Since chaos and disorder are an illusion, Vinyl Williams is trying to reach a new state of celestial harmony on Opal. The result is an album fueled with mysticism and space age utopia, ten kaleidoscopic lush pop songs that takes you into a transcendental journey on an opal marbled vinyl limited to 500 copies.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Requiem Pour Un Twister","offers":[{"title":"Black | LP","offer_id":50398070571339,"sku":"2170754","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50398068965707,"sku":"2170750","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/test_fdfd1d5b_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726493785"},{"product_id":"azure-10","title":"Azure","description":"\u003cp\u003eAzure, Vinyl Williams' fifth album was released on French label Requiem Pour Un Twister in 2020.
