Marlon Williams - My Boy - Lemon Yellow Vinyl

 Lemon Yellow Vinyl LP

My Boy, the third solo record from New Zealand singer/songwriter Marlon Williams, announces an artist emerging anew. Gone is the solemn, country-indebted crooner with the velvet voice - in his place comes a playful, shapeshifting creature. New demos and lyrical themes emerged: of self-identity and escapism; tribalism and a gnarled family tree; and ruminations on the role of masculinity and mateship. Co-produced with Tom Healy and recorded at Roundhead Studios in New Zealand, My Boy finds Williams' leading a new band through a set of genre-hopping tunes: from the cheery sway of 'My Boy' and chugging '80s noir sheen of 'Thinking Of Nina', to the charging synth of 'River Rival', and the sultry pop jam 'Don't Go Back.' All this sonic and emotional whiplash is intentional, and ultimately My Boy sees Williams having fun.
