Crystal Swamp

Taken from the new Joe Sampson EP "Songs of Delay", available at Joe Sampson's Bandcamp as a free download - https://joesampson1.bandcamp.com/album/songs-of-delay. Read more about Joe Sampson here - http://www.hiddenshoal.com/project/joe-sampson/

Across its 13-minute run-time, Joe Sampson patiently unfurls a perfectly formed suite of acoustic vignettes, each song exuding a gently mesmerising beauty. Stripped back in both instrumentation and execution, with additional vocals by Nathaniel Rateliff on ‘Songbird’, the EP leaves its raw, emotional core exposed, evoking the comfortably sad acoustic tones of Nick Drake or Leonard Cohen. Ornamented with often darkly humorous lyrics, intoned in a soft yet road-worn baritone, Sampson’s intimate, emotive songs draw you in, gradually weaving their subtle magic.

Joe Sampson - Songbird (Feat. Nathaniel Rateliff)

Part of the opening track from my latest ambient album Real Life and How To Avoid It, out on CD, download and streamies.

This track (like most of my music) was improvised live in my studio with most of my synths rather than just the laptop. 
It is another example of me exploring ways of making even more minimal music that is still satisfying.

Real Life and How to Avoid It

Once More

Human

This is a song about someone falling in love with a hologram. Or maybe about a hologram who falls in love with someone. I dedicate it to Erasmo Carlos, Louise Brooks, and The Flamingos.
