Chris Williams’ and Kid Reverie’s (Steve Varney’s) ethereal new album Something from
Nothing unfolds cinematically, their lyrical lens panning slowly across the musical universe and
inviting us to peer with them into the vast expanse of human emotion. Their shimmering vocals,
lush arrangements, and swirling instrumentation create an atmospheric sound that resembles the
Beatles’ “Across the Universe” or George Harrison’s “All Things Must Pass.” The songs
envelop us with warmth and comfort while at the same time peering into the corners of our souls,
uncovering our loneliness, our desires, our bereavement, our capacity for loving beyond
ourselves. Something from Nothing—the title perfectly captures the emergence of beauty from
the dark void, the sun breaking through the fog—takes us on a journey, climbing through the
sonic stratosphere with exhilarating elegance and revelatory wisdom.

New Video, "Carolina"
“Taken from Chris Williams and Kid Reverie’s magnificent new album, Something from Nothing, ‘Carolina’ is so gently life affirming and transcendental it feels like it’s being poured down into the very depths of your soul. It spirals around, dipping and soaring; a ghostly understated bluegrass spiritual.” - Jof Owen
— Holler
“Clearly wanting his music to do all the talking for him, he sets about this in impressive fashion with the opening three tracks representing a high-class introduction to Chris Williams the musician. The album is an impressive introduction to a new name in Americana.” - Peter Churchill
