Hayley Williams

FLOWERS for VASES / descansos

Indies exclusive LP is on 'clear' coloured vinyl.

A physical release for the 2nd solo album from the iconic and adored Hayley Williams, following on from her 2020 debut solo album PETALS for ARMOR, with a 14-track companion piece, written and performed all by Hayley in her home in Nashville. Artwork and creative direction was handled by frequent collaborator Lindsey Byrnes.

“The meaning of the album as a whole is maybe entirely different from diving into each song in particular For me, there’s no better way to tackle these individual subjects other than holistically. The ways I’ve been given time (forcibly, really) to stew on certain pains long enough to understand that they in fact, need to be released…indefinitely.”

“I may never have been offered such a kindness; an opportunity to tend to the seeds I’d planted, to harvest, and to weed or prune what is no longer alive, in order to make space for the living.

“I wrote and performed this album in its entirety. That’s a career first for me. I recorded it at my home in Nashville, the home at which I’ve resided since Paramore released After Laughter. 2020 was really hard but I’m alive and so my job is to keep living and help others to do the same.”
