I was going to paraphrase William Fitzsimmons bio, but it’s just too good.
“William Fitzsimmons is one of the oddest people you will ever meet. Born the youngest child of two blind parents, William was raised in the outskirts of the steel city of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Due to the family’s inability to communicate through normal visual means, William’s childhood home was filled with a myriad of sounds to replace what eyes could not see. The house was suffused with pianos, guitars, trombones, talking birds, classical records, family sing-a-longs, bedtime stories, and the bellowing of a pipe organ, which his father built into the house with his own hands.”
This guy is raging. Blind musical parents who build pipe organs and he rocks that beard, SO SOLID. I have been a fan of his ever since hearing his cover of Kanye West’s “Heartless”. His music has a very rainy day, late night drive, curl up and make out vibe . “So This Is Goodbye”, remixed by German producer Pink Ganter, sounds like the bass infused baby of Explosions in the Sky and Elliot Smith. It’s an emo track (about coping with heartbreak) with an electro feel…electremo? This song is off of Fitzsimmons’ new b-sides and remixes collection, Derivatives
