Last Release: Hold It Together
Having made her debut live appearance at the prestigious Roadburn Festival in the Netherlands off the back of a self-titled EP, A.A. WILLIAMS has since toured across the globe with the likes of CULT OF LUNA, EXPLOSIONS IN THE SKY, RUSSIAN CIRCLES, SLEEP TOKEN and 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" - both of which received widespread critical acclaim and placed A.A. WILLIAMS at the forefront of a wave of artists taking textured, epic and folk-rooted heavy music into new and progressive directions. A BBC session at the legendary Maida Vale Studios only bolstered her credentials.
Never one to rest on her laurels, she has also released a series of "companion pieces": a collaborative single with Japanese post-rock titans MONO ("Exit In Darkness"); a solo covers collection recorded during 2020's pandemic lockdown - Songs From Isolation - that drew praise from THE CURE's Robert Smith and SMASHING PUMPKINS' Billy Corgan; and perhaps most impressively, 2021's arco, in which the multi-instrumentalist completely reworked her debut EP from rock instrumentation to string ensemble, drawing on her classical training to stunning effect.
Now signed to Reigning Phoenix Music, the singles "Just A Shadow" and "Wolves" - the first taste of forthcoming album Solstice, due 5th June 2026 - have already turned heads, with Rock Sound calling her "one of the most vital voices in modern alternative culture" and Kerrang! declaring her work "typically spell-binding."
