Willis Earl Beal: Acousmatic Sorcery

Apr 30, 2012, 3:00am PopMatters

A good bio like Willis Earl Beal's does not a transcendent album make. Acousmatic Sorcery struggles with being everything you want it to be and the reality of what it is. Part performance artist, part old-school busker, part in-your-face sidewalk preacher, Willis Earl Beal has become more myth than man. Creating an aura of mystery surrounding his identity and his art, Beal first garnered attention thanks to cryptic flyers scattered around Chicago that prompted unsuspecting bystanders to call him for a chat and a song. Beal's is the ultimate pomo rags-to-riches story, as a sometimes homeless outsider [...]

Willis Earl Beal – Acousmatic Sorcery

Apr 4, 2012, 8:52am Potholes In My Blog

Willis Earl Beal - Acousmatic Sorcery XL Recordings: 2012 The late John Updike, famed novelist and erstwhile reviewer, said that you review the book, not the author.  That is, strive to remove narrative, legacy (or lack there of), pre-conceived perceptions and focus on the art itself. But, in this case, the backstory is as interesting as the album. Willis Earl Beal is not your typical recording artist.  Consider: As of 8 months ago, Beal was playing in the subway, posting fliers for friends (“I [...]

WEDNESDAY NIGHT LEFTOVERS (3.7.12)

Mar 7, 2012, 8:38pm Wine & Bowties

Hooray for new music. In particular, that Kendrick Lamar is just ridiculous. Working one of Maybach Music's gooniest characters into a gritty, psychedelic meditation on how the culture of violence is communicated to kids- I mean, damn. Shlohmo also shows up here twice, half of which is thanks to that hazy, spaced-out take on "Crew Love". The Shabazz Palaces video is, like most of the visuals they've provided so far , out of this world. The Julia Holter is appropriately odd and interesting and the L-Vis 1990 take on D'Angelo's "Untitled" is too groovy miss out on. Oh, and [...]

Willis Earl Beal: “Evening’s Kiss” Live + Studio Version

Mar 6, 2012, 2:33am TwentyFourBit

Perhaps the most inviting part of the intrigue surrounding singer-songwriter Willis Earl Beal for me has been just how uninviting his first official cut feels to many upon first listen: Even if you set aside its decidedly lo-fi tone, we're left with a tune that one could argue is a bit monotonous. It's that deliberate , unsettling quality, though, that finally found a restless spot in these bones - like an old Robert Johnson hotel room recording or, given Beal's visual art , Daniel Johnston. What Beal doesn't reveal in the LP version of "Evening's Kiss," however, is [...]

WATCH: Willis Earl Beal gets animated

Feb 24, 2012, 11:00am loudloop

For someone who told Pitchfork they don't feel like a musician just yet, Willis Earl Beal does a fine job of conveying emotions through soulful vocals and incredibly relatable lyrics just like one would expect a (good) musician to do. In his video for "Evening's Kiss," which channels the piercing acoustic style of Elliott Smith, we see an melancholic Beal walk through what seems like a pretty typical day. The video, which Beal illustrated, tugs at the heart strings and reminds of "Waking Life." Beal's debut Acousmatic Sorcery is out [...]
