When his father retired from salmon fishing on Kodiak Island, AK, the musician and lifelong fisherman reached a crossroads. William’s debut LP is the sound of his renewed sense of purpose, a new musical direction that sounds like “American Heartache”: music that stirs forgotten memories and feels eternal and fresh, pulling the past into the present as a way of navigating loss. The new album features contributions from First Aid Kit, Dawes’ Griffin Goldsmith, co-producer Brian Phillips and more.
