Following June’s Evaporate, A.A. Williams has unveiled the next single from her upcoming second album As The Moon Rests.

Entitled Golden, the musician says of her latest track: “It is sometimes possible to find ourselves in a situation unable to be objective, unable to see one’s part in the greater picture. Sometimes we are even the root of a problem we didn’t even realise was occurring. Golden speaks of the push and pull between enjoying being in a loving situation, yet simultaneously, unwittingly, ruining it.”

As The Moon Rests is due out on October 7 via Bella Union, with A.A. Williams explaining of her approach going into the record: “Traditionally, your second album is the worry; where there’s the weight of expectation. But I must create music I like myself, and I’ve had more time on this record; I’ve felt more confidence and conviction. As The Moon Rests is both heavier and softer, there’s more texture and weight, and a string ensemble. It’s [debut album] Forever Blue times 10!”
