Step into the mind-expanding world of Lionel (Vinyl) Williams, a visionary artist who has sculpted one of the most immersive, multi-sensory universes in modern music. Across nearly nine full-length albums, Williams has built a sprawling 3D realm—part dreamscape, part cosmic revelation—where sound, visuals, and interactivity merge into an unparalleled artistic experience. His work channels an ancient, pre-linguistic truth, manifesting as a celestial city in the sky.
Now, on June 6, 2025, Williams takes his otherworldly craft to new heights with “Polyhaven / Portasymphony,” a double LP featuring two distinct sonic journeys—one lo-fi, one hi-fi—housed in a mesmerizing gatefold LP with a lenticular hologram that shifts as you rotate it. Secure your pre-order now!
Hear the New Single, “Find the Hidden” below:
The first taste of the album, “Find the Hidden,” is a sun-drenched psych-pop gem that warps perception and invites discovery. The track is accompanied by a fully interactive video, designed by Williams himself, where viewers can explore and uncover hidden objects woven into the visuals. Dive into the interactive video here, or check out the standard version on YouTube.
Williams’ signature sound is a kaleidoscopic blend of lush harmonies, organic textures, and philosophical lyricism, exploring themes of space-time, the soul’s journey, and the nature of reality. He draws inspiration from Iasos, Robin Guthrie, Patrick Flegel (Women, Cindy Lee), A.R. Kane, Greg Saunier (Deerhoof), Van Dyke Parks, Lo Borges, Martin Newell (The Cleaners From Venus), and Todd Rundgren. On stage and in the studio, he’s collaborated with Toro y Moi, Unknown Mortal Orchestra, and Morgan Delt, among others.
Beyond Music: Musical Astrology & The Sound of the Cosmos
Williams isn’t just redefining psych-pop—he’s reinventing the way we experience music itself. He has pioneered a unique system called Musical Astrology, an app that lets you hear the sound of your birthday and the precise musical pitches of the planets as they align with Earth on any given day.
