The record put the three-piece behind the glass at Sound City Studios in LA, treading the same carpet as the likes of Nirvana, Johnny Cash, Neil Young, and Fleetwood Mac, and they might well have inhaled the spirit of them all.<\/p>\n<p>William The Conqueror\u2019s protagonist is Ruarri Joseph, a man who knows his way around a melody and a verse. Joseph\u2019s wryness suggests life just ain\u2019t plain sailin\u2019, and he fizzes that sigh and lament into something that breathes heavy with heart and with soul.<\/p>\n<p><em>Note<\/em>: The LP is available on indie-shops exclusive <strong>grey vinyl<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re offering <a title=\"William The Conqueror - Maverick Thinker\" href=\"https:\/\/hundredrecords.co.uk\/products\/william-the-conqueror-maverick-thinker\"><em>Maverick Thinker<\/em><\/a> at <strong class=\"darkred\">special pre-sale prices<\/strong>, which won\u2019t be available after release. <a title=\"William The Conqueror - Maverick Thinker\" href=\"https:\/\/hundredrecords.co.uk\/products\/william-the-conqueror-maverick-thinker\">Click here<\/a> for more details and to order your copy.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>William The Conqueror have paid their dues.
