| Marlon Williams - Vampire Again Blues/Roots, Alternative Country | 11/08/2017 |
Marlon William's ability to truly inhabit his material illuminates his majestic rendering of everything from diverse cover touchstones, to his own novelistic noir with gallows humour and a widescreen groove.
In creating “Vampire Again,” Williams returned to NZ to re-engage in the writing process and work again with producer Ben Edwards. The accompanying video, directed by Williams in collaboration with UK cinematographer Steve Gullick is a tragicomic vignette of a societal outcast – misshapen, uncomfortable, humorous and a little touching.
