Dharma EP

'Dharma' EP Out Now!

The Dharma EP is out now - available to stream on all platforms. Go and loose yourself to its sonic landscapes!

★

Dharma emphasises an exploration into various facets of the meandering nature of the subconscious. Through philosophical, thematic narratives encompassing notions such as the innate search for freedom, the deep intricacies of love and the mysticism of the neolithic age, Dharma evokes an ethereal landscape to lose oneself to, venturing forth into what it is to feel; what it is to be.

'Dharma' Release

This Friday, May 26th, SAMANA release their E.P ‘DHARMA’ under their own imprint, The Road Records. As two multidisciplinary artists who create every facet of their work themselves in their analogue recording studio in rural Wales, Dharma explores various facets of the meandering nature of the subconscious, underpinned by a line in the sand moment for the duo through the introduction of symphonic string and horn arrangements.

✯ Announcement ✯

Our E.P ‘Dharma’ is coming out next week, on Friday the 26th May to be precise. 

It is an body of work that explores the meandering nature of the subconscious, through  philosophical, thematic narratives encompassing notions such as the innate search for freedom, the deep intricacies of love and the mysticism of the Neolithic age. ‘Dharma’ evokes an ethereal landscape to lose oneself to, venturing forth into what it is to feel; what it is to be. 

We are so proud of this music and to be releasing it on our own label ‘The Road Records’ - so much tireless devotion and soul has gone into this craft and we are eager for you to hear it, embrace it and be immersed by the landscapes that we have.

Welsh Show

✡

We’re delighted to announce that we have added a Welsh show to our Summer tour.

June 1st - Small World Theatre - Cardigan

BBC Wales

Thank you so much to Adam Walton for the continuously championing Seven Years!

“It’s utterly transfixing and beautiful. The last couple of minutes are truly heavenly. Good lord thats beautiful. Someone needs to peel me off this leatherette and get me to bed - oh god the beauty! The whole E.P is exquisite. It’s a wonderful, wonderful listen!

Thank you Adam Walton for playing Seven Years again whilst filling in for Huw Stephens on BBC Wales.

“Jaw dropping - tantalising. I highly recommend!”

Thank you for all the love

BBC Radio 6 Music

Thank you Guy Garvey for the beautiful words about ‘Seven Years’ on Sunday

“The beautiful voice of Rebecca Rose Harris and her man Franklin Mockett. Their both artists. Buy the music that they make and they can make more! You can hear it in the patient uncurling of leaves, unfolding of petals, beautiful sapling freshness: Samana and ‘Seven Years’ I really, really love this!”

BBC Radio Wales

A big thank you to Adam Walton for opening his show on Saturday with ‘Seven Years’

“That drone can carry on for the next two hours and fifty four minutes as far as I’m concerned. A meditative balm beautifully written, arranged and recorded by Samana. Expansive and draw-droppingly beautiful; It’s exquisite!”

Feature

Thank you to ‘God is in The T.V’ for the beautiful feature

“Samana have spent the last few years building a studio by hand in remote Wales and their new EP Dharma is the first fruits of that labour. The first track to be shared is ‘Seven Years’ a gorgeous skeletal-folk song scattered with tenderly drawn instrumentals and the majestic vocals of Rebecca Rose Harris that remind me of Karen Dalton waltzing with Joni Mitchell. Representative of a metaphysical dawn, it searches for forgotten memories, drifting between – or perhaps suspended within – both piercing light and enveloping dark. It’s wonderful.”

Frome Concert

Our next show is in Frome on Thursday 6th April at Hydeaway.

There are still a handful of tickets left!
