Anchored in his love of melodic song craft and infused with melancholy, Countries, Van William’s vivid and open-hearted solo album, doesn’t belong to any specific style. It’s American heartache, music that stirs up forgotten memories and feels eternal and fresh, pulling the past into the present as a way of navigating loss. An enthralling debut, Countries signals the arrival of a gifted young artist on the rise. Features “Revolution” (featuring First Aid Kit), “Before I Found You,” “Cosmic Sign” and more. Available on CD, Digital and Blue Vinyl. Worldwide tour with First Aid Kit: Jan-March, 2018.“Debut Folk-Rock Stunner” – UPROXX
