London singer-songwriter A.A. Williams followed up the beautiful melancholy of gothic debut Forever Blue with As the Moon Rests last year, a journey further into post-rock stylings. A talented multi‑instrumentalist, Williams found the guitar a little down the line.
“I’d always listened to a lot of guitar-based music but hadn’t felt the compulsion to play any of it,” Williams tells us. “Years after studying piano and cello, someone a few doors down from me was throwing out this Squier Tele. It had a little sign under the strings saying, ‘Please take me, just needs work.’”
