Ethereal, female-fronted indie. If you like the mellowness of the Sundays and Mazzy Star, the songwriting of Red House Painters and Grant Lee Buffalo, and the atmospheric guitar work of the Cure and Coldplay, you'll most likely enjoy Trespassers Willia
Bio / Background
Standing out from the pop and punk that dominate the sunny southern california music scene, trespassers william create their own brand of melancholy and ethereal music more suited for overcast days and quite nights.
The music is rooted in the singer-songwriter tradition with touches of indie, folk, shoegaze and dreampop.
Often compared to mazzy star, red house painters, and coldplay - the band creates lush, dreamy soundscapes to house singer/songwriter anna-lynne williams' lilting vocals and haunting songs.
Formed in 1997, the band has two independent records:"anchor" (1999) and "different stars"(2002).
2003 finds the band receiving airplay on the legendary KCRW in Los Angeles, performing with many fine bands and UK release of 'different stars' on Bella Union records.
