My Boy: - Marlon Williams [VINYL]

'My Boy', the third solo record from New Zealand singer/songwriter Marlon Williams, announces an artist emerging anew. Gone is the solemn, country-indebted crooner with the velvet voice - in his place comes a playful, shapeshifting creature. Co-produced with Tom Healy and recorded at Roundhead Studios in New Zealand, 'My Boy' finds Williams' leading a new band through a set of genre-hopping tunes: from the cheery sway of 'My Boy' and chugging '80s noir sheen of 'Thinking of Nina', to the charging synth of 'River Rival', and the sultry pop jam 'Don't Go Back'. All this sonic and emotional whiplash is intentional, and ultimately 'My Boy' sees Williams having fun, even while interrogating the behaviors of himself and those around him.
