Motion Graphics

A member of Maximilian Dunbar’s band Lifted, Joe Williams goes solo with new project Motion Graphics. His debut album under the name, also titled ‘Motion Graphics’, will be released through Domino on 26 Aug.

The first single from the album, ‘Lense’, was released last month, followed by its video this week. With one of the LP’s main influences apparently the sounds of digital menu systems, the record sits firmly at the experimental end of electronic music, with various everyday digital tools sampled and twisted into the music.

However, as ‘Lense’ shows, there’s a strong melodic element to it as well, which makes it also accessible to the listener less keen on music as a test of endurance.
