“The images couple perfectly with somber but floating tunes that seems to pour with well thought lyrics and a perfect blend of indie, folk, and singer-songwriter styles.”
– Filter Magazine

“This is as stunning and heartfelt as we have come to expect from Fitzsimmons, so it goes without saying that you should definitely give it a listen…because this is a beautiful record.” – AbsolutePunk.net

William Fitzsimmons - Let You Break (featuring Julia Stone) by nettwerkmusicgroup

Today, critical darling William Fitzsimmons releases his fourth studio album, Gold In The Shadow (Nettwerk Records). The appeal of Fitzsimmons’ sound is indicative of his unique upbringing and consequent life experience. Born to two blind parents, Fitzsimmons grew up in a home where sound - particularly music - was integral to communication.

While maintaining the intimacy of previous releases, Fitzsimmons expands his sound on tracks like lead singles, “The Tide Pulls From The Moon” and “Beautiful Girl.” With “Let You Break,” William Fitzsimmons collaborates with Julia Stone, one half of the acclaimed Aussie brother/sister folk duo Angus & Julia Stone. Fitzsimmons’ gentle whispers are perfectly paired alongside Julia’s distinct, delicate, and fragile voice.

To support today’s release, be sure to catch Fitzsimmons on the road, along with Slow Runner. See dates below.

“They’re shedding new light on the intense but often subtle dynamics of male-female collaboration…Chart-toppers in their own country, the Stone siblings create the kind of music -- quiet, but driving, and rich with aura -- that turns casual listeners into cultish fans.” – LA Times

“Barefoot in a jade chiffon maxi dress, a flower in her hair, Julia looks like a young Loretta Lynn wafting around her first Glastonbury. Angus also sports a yellow bloom – in his trilby – but has the wild hair, beard and more earthy charms of Chas Hodges…watching the family Stone is like taking a minibreak – warm, intimate and inviting – you'll feel better for it.”– The Guardian (UK)

Indie-folk duo Angus & Julia Stone are set to return to North America this fall for headline tour dates that kick off with an appearance on KCRW’s “Morning Becomes Eclectic” on October 4 and a show at Los Angeles’s El Rey on October 5.
