The debut album from London's Sam Willis, one-half of Kompakt's visionary electronic duo Walls, sees the light of day on CD, with a bonus disc of remixes and exclusive versions from an eclectic collection of like-minded individuals. Walls, who have released two critically-acclaimed and adored albums on Kompakt, have created quite a reputation in house/techno circles in recent years, and Sam's solo work builds on that, resulting in an expansive and uplifting album that stands up next to classic artists in the field of electronic music while bearing comparison with contemporaries such as Blondes, Four Tet, and Nathan Fake. Remix artists include: Drums Off Chaos, Wesley Matsell, Pictish Trail, Harald Bjork, Not Waving, Kate Wax, Ramesses, Refleksie, and Ghosting Season.

Sam Willis releases his debut solo album Winterval via Half Machine Records on cadmium red vinyl. One-half of electronic duo Walls, who have released two critically-acclaimed and adored albums on Kompakt, his solo debut delivers on the rich promise of his earlier releases and remixes for influential imprints such as Playhouse, RVNG Intl., Rekids, and Buzzin' Fly, amongst others. Winterval is a bold and immersive album that fuses the saturated analog sounds of classic house and techno with the plangent/euphoric melodics associated with Brian Eno or Selected Ambient Works-era Aphex Twin. In a contemporary context, Willis' experimental and hypnotic sounds fit neatly but uniquely alongside the likes of other sonic 4/4 explorers such as Four Tet, Actress, Nathan Fake and Caribou. Includes mp3 download.
