New love for Careful Love!

cougarmicrobes.com

For a few months I’ve been haunted by the Tim Williams‘ track ‘I Hit Another Wall‘. Its gentle melody possesses a slightly hypnotic quality that allows the Brooklyn troubadour to shine.

The NYC native uprooted to LA in order to find a new perspective. Instead… he found love resulting in a set of introspective songs recorded with the backing of a “proper” band.

"We're digging their sound" (Soft Swells) ~LAist

"With our iPods full of noise rock, chill wave, and lo-fi, simple, straightforward indie rock is refreshing. Especially when it’s as good as the songs off of Tim Williams’ new album, Careful Love, which comes out tomorrow." ~Nylon Magazine

"Novel soars on the basis of a singalong chorus and a killer synth line" ~Paste Magazine

"Magical" ~Stereogum

"Williams has crafted an easy-to-please collection of songs that continue to bolster the argument that there are few songwriters out there that match his wit." ~Absolutepunk

"Brooklyn-based singer-songwriter Tim Williams has reinvented himself in band form with his third full-length release, Careful Love. He brings new musical and lyrical maturity to his moving troubadour style with a full backup of richly layered harmonies and beat-driven melodies." ~ Marie Claire

"A damn good record." ~Performing Songwriter

"When Work Is Done splits the difference between the Shins moody acoustic meditations at its lightest and Built To Spill's symphonic guitar rock at its heaviest." ~The Boston Globe

"If When Work Is Done is any indication, he's got what it takes to turn more than a few heads in the indie world: this is an earnest, well-crafted album, grounded with equal parts rustic grit and quirky sparkle." ~Allmusic.com

"Few albums are able to be immediately infectious yet keep a listener interested for listen upon listen, but Tim Williams' When Work Is Done does just that. Built upon a framework of intelligent songwriting and great production, he offers up an album that is easy to get into, yet never grows tired even after weeks of repeated listens. This is the album that should put Williams on the map." ~The Tripwire.com

"Williams has created a collection filled with simple beauty." ~Outburn

"Tim Williams crafts pop gems on his dynamite CD, When Work Is Done, matching allusive wordplay with hook-laden arrangements." ~Philadelphia Inquirer

"A debut album of gravity and depth which belies the youth of its creator, Tales of Digression showcases a man at home with his talent. " ~Americana UK
