WILLIAM

Taken from the album Tear Ourselves Away.

Sharing an apartment and rehearsal space with fellow Las Vegas residents, The Killers, Ann Yu – a classically trained violinist suffering under a parental ban on pop music – developed a taste for alternative rock and forged an outlet for her angst in LoveLikeFire. Dramatic and emotive, their debut collection plays sonic dynamics off against thematic ones; lurching from dark and brooding to sweet and delicate. Passionate and captivating, the band established themselves as a powerhouse indie rock act, tracks bustling with aggressive grandeur and a swirling gothic splendour.
