Euphoria

Vinyl LP pressing. 2011 album from the Indie/Alt-Rock singer/songwriter. Devon Williams' shimmering pop tempers sweetness and bliss with an honest, unguarded perspective. His tunes are informed by broad musical knowledge and diverse tastes; while the past echoes through them, his songwriting skills, strong musical voice and arrangement / production prowess mark him as a truly unique talent. Euphoria presents an homage to things romantic and rare. This is Williams' statement of musical intent and he's been carefully crafting and tweaking the songs for maximum effect, building them up and then paring them back down to find the ideal balance of immediacy and depth, of melodic richness and lyrical concision. Euphoria is Williams' finest record yet, a very personal work of great beauty, as thought-provoking as it is musically intoxicating.
