WILLIAM FITZSIMMONS - GOLD IN THE SHADOW
With his hushed, yet beautifully poignant voice and sparse, electic folk sound, William Fitzsimmons produced a gem of a record with this, his 4th studio record. Focusing on his own inner demons and personal trevails and his journey to make peace with himself, "Gold in the Shadow" offers up 10 perfectly pitched songs ranging from the hopeful "Beautiful Girl" to the despondant, melancholia of "Fade and then Return".
Musically, "Gold in the Shadow" sits somewhere between Bon Iver and Iron and Wine with a few flecks of Neil Young and The Postal Service. Acoustic guitars, sparse piano, licks of electric guitar, bubbling keyboards, and midtempo percussion present Fitzsimmons` lyrics and ideas in swathes of gentle sounds. "Gold in the Shadow" is a soothing record, aurally, which makes it all the more beautiful and melodic.
