Biography

Sons of Viljems, a London-based duo, comprises Andrea Giommi (Guitar, Vocals) and Nejc Haberman (Bass, Synth). With a measured pace in a world of relentless acceleration, they have released six carefully crafted songs over five years. In contrast to bulk editing and standardisation, Sons of Viljems meticulously chisel every song to its last detail. After years of concerts, collaborations, and sporadic releases, the band has now curated 42 minutes of music for their debut full-length album. This collection is a fusion of minimalistic bass-guitar sessions and collaborative efforts with external musicians, each contributing their unique touch to the compositions.

The album is obscure, eerie, evocative. It swims in tar-black dub bass lines, it suggests quasi jazzy/ world music atmospheres, disturbing echoes, and reverbs, touching melodies and relentless grooves. A precious album that sits somewhere between Robert Wyatt, Coil, Labradford, Arthur Verocai, Mulatu Astatke, Os Mutantes, This Heat, Ennio Morricone and David Axelrod.
