Sold Out

Brighton - that’s our third sell out show in a row! Thank you to all of you who came down and joined us at The Hope And Ruin on the 19th for our headline performance on the first evening of the Triptych festival with Love Thy Neighbour. We completely lost ourselves to the heavier components of our sound, entering landscapes of transcendence, uninhibited movement and colossal sonics. There’s so much to come…

We have some live content to share with you soon. Here are some behind the scenes photographs taken by WetheDee

Recording

We joined our dear friend Owain at his incredible studio StudiOwz to record the piano for an upcoming song that is very close to both our hearts. We can’t wait to share this song with you all in February.

We want to say a huge thank you to all of you who joined us last Friday for our performance at St Michaels & All Angels Church! The concert was sold out and what a magnificent evening it was! You were an incredible audience and the night was transcendental; time and space dissolved into the spaces between silence and sound. We are so blessed to be sharing our journey with such talented musicians and with the support of such an attentive and dedicated audience. To end 2022 on this note was truly poignant for us all. We can’t wait to let the music guide us to uncharted domains and new connections in 2023, to share our new work with you all, to charge spaces and expand into the collective consciousness. To feel as much as is possible to feel and push the boundaries of sonic immersion. See you in the new year! Have a beautiful Christmas!

We’re performing for 2023’s Triptych Festival In Brighton. Catch us at the Hope and Ruin on the 19th January alongside The Leaning and harpist Eva Lunny. Get your tickets now!

Thank you Folk Radio for the feature

“There are parallels to the lifestyle of Samana and their new modes of creating as they push at those boundaries – to escape the mundane and live life with a new meaning. With the music of ‘Two Wrongs,’ you can almost hear that train in the shimmering percussion and feel the wind in your face. It’s an ode to being free.”

Inspired by the transient subculture of freight train riders that span across the landscape of America, ‘Two Wrongs’ symbolises humanities innate, continuous search for freedom; for a sense of release and escape. This song gives rise to the reverent and unrelenting intensity that burns inside the hearts of so many and their yearning to voyage beyond the perimeters of societal convention, in stepping beyond the control of predictability into the unknown. ‘Two Wrongs’ evokes the perpetual momentum of the freight train, scoring through vast landscapes of arid deserts, dark pine forests, illuminated mountains and stretches of infinite stars reflected in wide historical rivers. This is a piece of music that celebrates those whose devotion to wanderlust and to the direction of their dreams, is an unbridled part of their identity.

The photograph for Two Wrongs is taken by American photographer Mike Brodie, who spent four years embedded in the train riding subculture, amassing an archive of photographs that make up one of the few, true collections of American travel photography in all its raw grit, beauty and openness.
