frontman Ruarri Joseph confronts the thin line between creativity and madness, inspired by
compassion for the real-life angels of the world.
Produced by the band in a playground of vintage gear and mixed by Barny Barnicott (Arctic
Monkeys, Sam Fender, Kasabian), the resulting album's ten tracks marry earworm tunes with
insistent, imperious, soaring rock shapes, punctuated by chorus hooks that are simultaneously
nuanced and anthemic.
Joseph's compelling semi-spoken vocals and swamp-blues-Seattle-scuzz guitars are propelled
by the rhythm section of Naomi Holmes (bass) and Harry Harding (drums) as Excuse Me
While I Vanish delivers an effortlessly winning blend of melody and ensemble dynamics, the
most accomplished and undeniable William The Conqueror album to date.
William The Conqueror's live performances have drawn wildly enthusiastic comparisons to
Kings of Leon, Nirvana, Buffalo Tom and The Raconteurs.
