Trespassers William was an indie rock/dream pop band with a penchant for ethereal soundscapes and introspective lyrics, which emerged from the vibrant Southern California music scene of the late 90s. Formed in 1997 by Anna-Lynne Williams (vocals, guitar) and Matt Brown (guitar), the band initially captivated audiences with their blend of shoegaze-inspired guitar work and the haunting beauty of Williams' voice. Through the years, they expanded their lineup to include various musicians that contributed to the band's lush, layered sound.
Their prominence in the indie music community grew with the release of their second album, "Different Stars," in 2002, which gained widespread recognition and was later re-released in 2004 to a larger audience. Trespassers William's evocative melodies and melancholic ambience found a loyal following, further solidifying their place in the genre with subsequent releases such as "Having" in 2006. The "Live Session" EP showcased the band's raw, emotive energy in concert, while compilations like "Noble House" and "The Natural Order of Things" offered fans a collection of B-sides and rarities that captured the full spectrum of the band's creative output. Despite disbanding in 2012, Trespassers William left an indelible mark on the dream pop landscape, their music continuing to resonate with fans of the genre who admire their poetic craftsmanship and the profound sense of longing that pervades their discography.
