Marlon Williams returned to the three-thousand-person town of Lyttelton, NZ to record his debut album.

With the intent of making his own voice the centerpiece of the album, he drew on his confidence in its tone to tie everything together in order to combine a noise band and a 60’s r’n’b band and then strip it back to just guitar and voice. Marlon Williams joined Stephen Ferris on Friday Mornings to discuss the cultural and family influences that affected his music growing up.
