Album Of The Week
A big thank you to Plattentests for the intricate review of our album 'Ascension' and to be their 'album of the week'. Click here to read the full article.
"It is somehow reassuring that the human mind establishes, locates, and locates references directly at first contact. Otherwise, one would be constantly speechless. So: Rebecca Rose Harris, multiple award-winning photographer and part of the duo Samana, has a voice that evokes associations and images. Imagine, for example, that Hope Sandoval would only appear with eyes framed in deep black kohl. Or Nico would have been deprived of her urban context, and she would now be wandering through mountainous landscapes and prairies. The lister lands in the middle of nature. You feel stunned by the songs, but always make out the contours of touching melodies in the fog."

The Vinyls Have Arrived!
We received the first batch of vinyl pressings for our debut album ‘Ascension’ with the synchronisation of all the flowers and buds exploding into bloom. To hold a manifestation of so many things spoken and unspoken in between our hands after years of hard work in complete solitude, pushing boundaries of mind and matter, is the greatest delight for us both. So Many depths of philosophies and conceptual notions have been woven into this album, both sonically and physically, with the intention to expand audience interaction with the music, emotionally and physically. Join us for our celebration of this release on the 30th May in Brighton - Ticket links are on the events page. Big bad world here we come…

Watch Harvest Here
Harvest is the outcome of a social experiment, filmed over the duration of two hours, designed to explore and capture one of the fundamental concepts behind the album Ascension; the transitioning between one plain of consciousness to another. With dance being one the most primitive forms of human behaviour, we created a musical environment that shifted between five notions. Orchestrated with the intention of removing each individual from their bodies, from time and from their conscious state of awareness, to a state of catharsis and transcendence, we documented the language of movement that became the immediate dialogue of their subconscious, and in turn, witnessed the collective ascension of the group to pass into an altered state; a higher frequency and dimension of being and energy.
