Astrid Williamson

Since her career began in 1994, Shetland born Astrid Williamson has released eight studio albums. Founding member of respected indie trio Goya Dress, their debut album Rooms was produced by rock legend John Cale.
Variously compared to artist such as Joni Mitchell, Kristin Hersh and John Martyn, Williamson’s artistry is distinctive in it’s own right. With a hauntingly beautiful voice the classically trained pianist creates vividly intelligent emotional landscapes in her confessional song-writing.
“her vocal delivery approaches John Martyn levels of emotional impact….avoid ‘Scattered’, it will tear you to pieces“The Sunday Times on We Go To Dream
“Joni Mitchell meets The Orb in an actual sonic cathedral of sound” The Word on Pulse
