Sunday 01.27.08: Echo & Part Time Punks present - WHITE WILLIAMS / MAGIC BULLETS

White Williams

Mostly, though, Williams is a groove-obssesser working through his influences, and doing it with enough restraint and creativity to work them into his songs, leaving the showiness to his cover models. Smoke’s signposts form a coherent musical worldview: “In the Club” is T. Rex’s “The Motivator” at 16 rpm, “Going Down” and “Route to Palm” work in the 1970s West African guitar colorations that Dirty Projectors, Vampire Weekend, and Islands have been exploring lately, “New Violence” hurtles forward with a motorik bassline, and opener “Headlines” plays like a bubblegum version of Brian Eno’s “Baby’s on Fire”. - Pitchfork
