Lionel Williams has always moved to the rhythm of the cosmos. Under his Vinyl Williams moniker, he’s spent nearly two decades distilling the ineffable — translating stars, space, and psychic residue into sound that shimmers like liquid chrome. With Eden, his newest single, Williams ascends to an even more radiant plane, offering up a psych-pop hymn that feels both euphoric and precise, like a laser beam refracted through stained glass.

First surfacing in 2007, Vinyl Williams has long resisted genre constraints, favouring a fluid, kaleidoscopic aesthetic that unspools somewhere between spiritual ritual and dream logic. Over the years, he’s found a natural home on labels like Chaz Bear’s Company Records and French tastemakers Requiem Pour Un Twister, building a catalogue that feels both mythic and deeply personal.

With Eden, Williams doesn’t just return — he opens a portal. The track’s buoyant groove is paired with a prismatic new video that functions more like a metaphysical travelogue than a traditional visual accompaniment. Shot across surreal and sacred locations — from the sun-drenched Bixby Park in Long Beach to the technicolor curves of the Quetzalcoatl Nest in Mexico City — the video is a celebration of earthly beauty through an extraterrestrial lens. Other stops include the Portal Of The Folded Wings in Burbank and the ancient city of Tikal, with every site bathed in Williams’ signature iridescent glow.

At the heart of Williams’ ever-evolving practice is a commitment to mapping human experience across time, dimension, and sound. That’s perhaps most clearly embodied in Musical Astrology, the app he developed to sonify planetary alignments and personal birth dates — a poetic tool that underscores his lifelong fascination with resonance and meaning.

Eden finds Williams in a more playful, exuberant register than we’ve seen in recent releases, yet the depth remains. It’s a reminder that transcendence doesn’t always require stillness — sometimes it asks you to dance. And in Williams’ world, the dancefloor might just be the entire universe.
