   About lotte kestner
  "China Mountain" is available to buy now on the MUSIC page at www.trespasserswilliam.com. Also available through CD Baby, CD Universe, and for download on Amazon and iTunes.

Lotte Kestner is a solo project, born during a bit of down time. Most often I am in the studio or on the road with Trespassers William. China Mountain (named after a mountain range in southern Oregon) was recorded over a year in my basement bedroom, and mixed in a Seattle studio with my Trespassers bandmate Matt Brown. Most of the songs are built around acoustic guitar and several tracks of voice, and I play a bit of harmonica, keys, drums, ukulele, and harp. I was assisted on a few songs by friends - including Jeff Martin of Idaho on two of the album's tracks.

I have recently returned from Marfa, TX, a beautiful small town where I tracked a whole album in 28 days with the great musician Robert Gomez. That project is called Ormonde and now has it's own page as well, where you can hear 4 of the new songs. xo

Past collaborations include work with: Chemical Brothers, John Grant, Minotaur Shock, Phononoir, Buddy, AFI, Au Revoir Borealis, Anomie Belle...

"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

"Anna Lynne Williams has one of the most intoxicating voices in modern music."

- Auralgasms

"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

"Anna-Lynne Williams has one of those crystal-clear voices made up of shyness, loneliness and quiet despair."

- NME

the sound quality of "stolen" has such a timeless sense about it ... The whole song is beautifully done! It reminded of when I was twelve, when everything is a little pink and lovely, like an old french movie!! Thank you for sharing it!!
