Vinyl Williams is the moniker of Los Angeles-based neo-psychedelic artist Lionel Williams, who blends immersive visual art with dreamy, shoegaze-inspired music. As a multi-disciplinary creator, Williams not only produces music that melds the ethereal with the experimental but also accompanies his sonic landscapes with his own distinctive collages and video art. His artwork and music intertwine to form a kaleidoscopic experience that defies traditional genre boundaries.

Since debuting in the early 2010s, Vinyl Williams has delivered a series of releases that explore the different facets of his psychedelic sound palette. Albums like "Opal" and tracks such as "Cosmopolis" and "Azure" showcase his ability to create sprawling, almost otherworldly sonic environments, while singles like "Electric Electric" and "Self-Fulfilling Prophecy" illustrate his flair for punchy, reverb-laden melodies. Whether embarking on plush sonic odysseys like "Aeterna" or invoking a retrofuturistic vibe in "Petroglyph," Vinyl Williams consistently invites listeners to lose themselves in his richly textured musical universe.
