(And Other Lives) EP
Release Date: 16 July 2026 | Published Date: 5 July 2026

“Through My Hands”—the shimmering new single from Greg Williams’ acclaimed album, “Stone On Stone”—is a masterclass in melodic jangle pop that finds light in the shadows of loss.
Think the driving, melodic basslines of The War on Drugs meets the jangly, guitar-driven optimism of R.E.M. and The Church.
“Through My Hands is a gem.”—Jeff Jenkins, Rhythms, ABC.
“Unexpected, ingenious and rather beautiful.”—Rob Morgan, A Goldfish Named Regret (Newport, South Wales)
The organic, spacious mix by the legendary Kevin Shirley (Divinyls, Hoodoo Gurus, Cold Chisel) shows off a gorgeous wall of guitars played entirely by Williams.

The melancholy lyrical themes of time passing and letting go are lightened with unexpected splashes of brass, bells and ocarina. The song’s mood is beautifully amplified in an upcoming animated music video, sculpted in shifting sands by lighting designer Kait Hall.
“Through My Hands”—the seventh single from “Stone On Stone”—follows up the indie radio hit “Every Day It’s Your Birthday”, his first to reach 200 radio spins and his most played song in his best airplay year with 300 spins before the half way mark.
The new single arrives on 06.07.26 as an Extended Play with “This Life (And Other Lives)” showcasing a new master of Greg’s debut solo single alongside two previously unreleased mixes of the original version by Kevin Shirley.
“Stone On Stone” collected local and international airplay and featured in multiple best albums and favourites lists.
★ “It’s a seriously good album, folks. Seriously, seriously good.”—Michael O’Brien, Great Southern Land, Coast FM 963.
★ “Greg Williams is an old-school classic pop songwriter. He has a knack for crafting fine melodic pop, and I think Stone On Stone is his best work yet.”—Jeff Jenkins, Rhythms, ABC.
★ “Relentless songwriting mastery… a tour de force with echoes of Australian greats Paul Kelly and Grant McLennan.”—Chipper Saam, Indie Pop Takeout (USA).
★ “The crunchy guitar sounds of The Hoodoo Gurus and the melodic grace and vocal of the late Grant McLennan.”—Henry Lipput, Pure Pop 4 Now People (USA).
★ “Definitely a contender for album of the year or any year for that matter.”—Wally Salem, The Beautiful Music (Canada).
★ “The album is a hidden gem, made with love, wit, care and compassion… one of the best indie guitar albums of the year. Comparison points… The Triffids and The Go-Betweens.”—Rob Morgan, A Goldfish Called Regret (South Wales).
Arriving late as a solo artist, Greg is building on his timeless songwriting craft with the upcoming release of a double album of acoustic songs, “Castaway”, featuring Ashley Naylor and Michael Barclay, as well as the first digital debut of his two ’90s bedroom pop albums.
