A Beautiful Review Of Our Muelle, Bilbao Concert

Thank you so much to Alfred Villaescusa, for his poignant, attentive and very detailed review featured on 'El Caleidoscopio' of our performance at Muelle, Bilbao earlier this month. 

"In a dream territory between Cigarettes After Sex, something by Kate Bush and the ethereal pomposity of Sigur Rós moves this couple with spiritual pretenses that spent a whole year touring Europe and expressed their experiences in a minimalistic and hypnotic debut, whose listening becomes Completely addictive once you get into your roll. A world in black and white far from the shrillness of the current era in which everything moves with a dizzying speed. The attitude of the sparse parish was one of absolute devotion, most of them sitting on the floor as if they were telling a story in the light of the moon. A cockatoo would have been ground to the ground. "The Sky Holds Our Years" rejoiced in the agony, while "Beneath The Ice" for its almost ambient air could easily enter a list of fundamental songs for intercourse. Or to listen at dawn alone, in those moments in which the majority sleep and glimpse the lit light of a room causes conjectures of different fur.
Feel a presence without paying attention to it. A revolution of silence that is taking positions without us noticing."

New Write Up

 

“There are these voices that capture you at first hearing and are simply unique - Rebecca Rose Harris, the singer of Samana, has just one voice. Just that it sounds like a crossover of other iconic singers. The power of PJ Harvey can be heard in it, the deep sadness of Nico and the purity of the voice of Hope Sandoval, the Mazzy Star singer.  Rebecca Harris' voice - that dark, sonorous voice that just can not get out of your head.”

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…
