SoCal has fond memories of Trespassers William, the Orange County-bred dreampop outfit who fled to the Pacific Northwest around the time 2004’s “Different Stars” was worming its way into our ears. Matt Brown and Anna-Lynne Williams have released precious little TW music since 2006 (only two EPs), but Williams has been involved in other projects – collaborating with Texas folk artist Robert Gomez as well as doing a solo album as Lotte Kestner. The latter work, titled “China Mountain,” came out this summer on Silber Records, and it’s a sweet collection of spare, acoustic folk. “Temperature,” for one thing, reveals that it doesn’t have to be cloying to rhyme “tra-la-la-la” and “la-da-di-da.”
