PRESS:
• “It’s like the Little Match Girl instead sold all of her matches and bought a guitar.” {Sic} Magazine
• “In the vein of My Bloody Valentine, Jolie Holland, and perhaps even Codeine, those remarkable shoe~gazers that were part of Sub Pop’s early catalog. Williams’ music is moody, inward, and her lyrics are wonderfully unpredictable.” — Seattle Post~Intelligencer
• “Even though it doesn’t matter what she’s singing~the mood translates well through melody and instrumentation~it’s lucky for the listener that the lyrics are included in the CD booklet. The sheer poetry of the songs is remarkable.” — Seattle Sound

Ghosts I’ve Met
• “Ghosts I’ve Met” is a musical project that came to be in Seattle in 2005 by singer songwriter & musician Sam Watts. There are often a cast of musicians that find themselves anchored by the songwriting talents of Sam Watts that then become “Ghosts I’ve Met”.
• GHOSTS I’VE MET is the project of Michigan born songwriter Sam Watts.
The group was formed by Watts in Seattle,Washington along with guitarist Ben Blankenship and cellist Brent Arnold both formerly of Seattle band Modest Mouse. • Watts and company create songs that are simultaneously devastating, and soothing and are filled with hand tinted photographic imagery. In 2010 they released their first collection of songs, an E.P entitled “Payphone Patience” which featured the drumming of Michael Lerner (The Antlers) and piano work from Darren Jessee (Ben Folds Five). The E.P released on Canadian folk label Yerbird marked the finding of what Watts would call his “Rhythm as a writer”.
• In 2011 Ghosts released their first full~length vinyl album (also out on Yerbird) entitled “From A Spark” which features guitarist Bill Patton (Fleet Foxes, J.Tillman) as well as Jenna Conrad (Damien Jurado) The album Spent months on Seattle’s Kexp radio charts and warranted an In studio performance at the station. Ghosts I’ve Met opened shows in 2011 for such acts as Jessica Lea Mayfield,,Dolorean, Pearly Gate Music and The Antlers.
• “Sam Watts is like a Gram Parsons or Jay Farrar — generations removed yet tapped into music’s old soul” Says Greg Vandy of Kexp Seattle “there’s a loneliness that penetrates just right. This is a band to watch. Great things are ahead”.
