William The Conqueror
Excuse Me While I Vanish
Chrysalis Records / SD
William The Conqueror's fourth album finds the indie-rock trio firing on all cylinders as frontman Ruarri Joseph confronts the thin line between creativity and madness, inspired by compassion for the real- life angels of the world.
the res ulting album's ten tra cks marry earworm tunes with insistent, imperious, soaring rock shapes, punctuated by chorus hooks that are simultaneously nuanced and anthemic. Jose ph's compelling semi-spoken vocals and swamp-blues-Seattle- scuzz guitars are propelled by the rhythm section of Naomi Holmes (bass) and Harry Harding (drums) as Excuse Me While I Va nish delivers an effortle ssly winning blend of melody and ensemble dynamics, the most accomplished and undeniable William The Conqueror album t o date
