William Fitzsimmons - Incidental Contact [Colored Vinyl] (Ofgv) (Rybl)

Royal Blue Vinyl. Over the course of his career, William Fitzsimmons has made his living writing a specific brand of honest and inward-looking folk songs that fearlessly and candidly examine the evolving self while dexterously communicating his talent for robust melodies and catchy instrumentation. Beginning with his debut album, Until When We Are Ghosts, he generated hundreds of millions of streams across fan-favorite albums such as Gold In The Shadow [2011], Lions [2014], and Pittsburgh [2015]. He landed significant syncs on ABC, NBC, MTV, Lifetime, and The CW. Notably, NPR once dubbed him "A Songwriter With Vision," and he incited the applause of American Songwriter, Billboard, NYLON, Pop Matters, Rolling Stone, Q Magazine, Uncut, and more.Now, William returns with quite possibly the most ambitious release of his career. The Illinois-based singer-songwriter and producer focuses on the wonder, humanity, and beauty of our interactions with one another and explores this phenomenon's effect on his own life via his eighth full-length Incidental Contact.Fitzsimmons pays homage to his late stepmother, who passed away in November 2022 with this album. She entered William's life 25 years earlier upon marrying his father. In the wake of this loss, William chose to memorialize her and celebrate her memory in the best way he could-by writing and recording what would become Incidental Contact.
