Our Take

William Fitzsimmons' latest album "Ready The Astronaut" is a cosmic journey through the depths of emotional turmoil, a sonic exploration of the vast expanse of the human heart.

From the moment the opening track hits your ears, you're whisked away on a whirlwind of delicate melodies and haunting lyrics. Fitzsimmons' signature hushed vocals float effortlessly over layered guitars and gentle percussion, creating a soundscape that is both intimate and expansive.

But don't be fooled by the ethereal beauty of the music - beneath the surface lies a raw vulnerability that cuts to the core. Fitzsimmons lays bare his soul on tracks like "Ghost of My Love" and "Foolish Love", grappling with themes of loss, longing, and redemption.

Throughout the album, Fitzsimmons masterfully weaves together elements of folk, indie, and electronica, creating a unique sonic tapestry that is all his own. Each song is a shimmering gem, shining bright in the darkness of space.

"Ready The Astronaut" is a poignant and profound album that will leave you feeling weightless, floating amongst the stars. So buckle up, dear listeners, and prepare for lift off - William Fitzsimmons is ready to take you on a musical journey like no other.

About the artist

William Fitzsimmons

William Fitzsimmons may not have the most glamorous background for a musician - after all, how many former mental health therapist-turned-singer-songwriters do you know? But what he lacks in rockstar persona, he more than makes up for in talent and authenticity. Hailing from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Fitzsimmons first gained attention for his intimate, acoustic folk sound and heartfelt lyrics. With his distinctive beard and signature beanie, he looks more like a lumberjack than a musician, but don't let his appearance deceive you. His music is anything but woodsy; it's raw, emotional, and deeply personal. Fitzsimmons' journey into the music industry was far from smooth sailing. After independently releasing his debut album "Until When We Are Ghosts" in 2005, he faced rejection from major record labels before ultimately finding success on his own terms. Since then, he has released several critically acclaimed albums, including "The Sparrow and the Crow" and "Gold in the Shadow". With his soothing vocals and intricate guitar work, Fitzsimmons has a knack for drawing listeners into his world of heartache and hope. His songs touch on themes of love, loss, and self-discovery, weaving together a tapestry of emotions that resonate with fans around the world. Whether he's performing solo with just his guitar and harmonica or backed by a full band, Fitzsimmons always delivers a captivating live show. His genuine and down-to-earth stage presence makes him a fan favourite, and his music speaks to the universal human experience in a way that few artists can. In a sea of generic pop stars and cookie-cutter musicians, William Fitzsimmons shines as a unique and talented voice in the music industry. Keep an eye on this bearded troubadour - he's only just getting started.
