Composer and guitarist Yasmin Williams releases, Acadia, her Nonesuch debut and her most sonically expansive work to date. It comprises nine original, mostly instrumental tracks written and produced by Williams, and features her on various guitars, banjo, calabash drum, tap shoes, and kora. Williams is joined on the album by an eclectic cast of collaborators – including Immanuel Wilkins on saxophone, Dom Flemons on rhythm bones, Aoife O’Donovan on vocals, William Tyler on guitar, and many others – creating a folk music that reflects the wide range of musical influences that have inspired her throughout her life. The track ‘Virga’, featuring Darlingside on vocals, whose sound NPR calls ‘exquisitely arranged, literary-minded, baroque folk-pop’, and Nashville-based experimental ambient/jazz multi-instrumentalist Rich Ruth on synth.
