Today, A.A. WILLIAMS steps into a new “Solstice.”
Out now via RPM, “Solstice” arrives as WILLIAMS’ most powerful and poetic work to date, an album shaped by extremes of light and darkness, weight and fragility, devastation and renewal. Thunderous highs, intimate lows and vivid emotional shifts unfold across a record that feels both deeply personal and cinematic in scale.
Long celebrated for her haunting vocals, immersive dynamics and striking emotional clarity, WILLIAMS expands her sonic world with an album that moves like a ritual through changing seasons. Guitars churn like gathering weather, strings glow with fragile warmth, and her voice unfolds from restrained intimacy into commanding emotional force.
“Solstice” captures A.A. WILLIAMS at a creative turning point. Inspired by years of global touring, acclaimed collaborations and genre-defying reinterpretations, the album finds her fully embracing both vulnerability and power.
Balancing crushing heaviness with moments of startling beauty, “Solstice” invites listeners into a world where silence can feel as immense as sound itself. It is intimate, dramatic and quietly radiant — music for endings, beginnings and the long road between the two.
Let the new season begin.
Track list:1. Poison
2. Wolves
3. Little By Little
4. Hold It Together
5. Outlines
6. I've Seen Enough

About A.A. WILLIAMS
Making her debut live appearance at the prestigious Roadburn Festival in the Netherlands off the back of a self-titled EP, A.A. Williams has since toured across the globe with the likes of Cult of Luna, Explosions in the Sky, Russian Circles, Sleep Token and The Sisters of Mercy, as well as establishing herself as a headline artist— including a show at the iconic Queen Elizabeth Hall inside London's Southbank Centre.
Standout festival appearances have dovetailed with two album releases— 2020's Forever Blue and 2022's As The Moon Rests— both of which received widespread critical acclaim and placed A.A. Williams at the forefront of a wave of artists taking textured, epic and folk-rooted heavy music into new and progressive directions. A BBC session at the legendary Maida Vale Studios only bolstered her credentials.
Never one to rest on her laurels, she has also released a series of "companion pieces": a collaborative single with Japanese post-rock titans MONO ("Exit In Darkness"); a solo covers collection recorded during 2020's pandemic lockdown— Songs From Isolation— that drew praise from The Cure's Robert Smith and Smashing Pumpkins' Billy Corgan; and perhaps most impressively, 2021's arco, in which the multi-instrumentalist completely reworked her debut EP from rock instrumentation to string ensemble, drawing on her classical training to stunning effect.
