Boulimique de Musique
"The American band delivers a funk-infused rock song on a track as atmospheric as it is gently catchy. The male vocals, packed with attitude, deliver a fearsomely catchy chorus and colorful lyrics. The slightly psychedelic ambience amplifies the exploratory touch of this track full of twists and turns."

Spiritual Awakening Music
The throwback sound is legit.

Poppy Bristow (Fresh on the Net)
"Psychedelic-indie trio Girl for Samson may hail from Kansas City, but press play on Cigarette and its funky bass, baggy-beat percussion, and Inspiral Carpets organ accents will fire you straight through a wormhole to 90s Manchester or Liverpool. In its synthesis of cool-cat detachment and oracular yearning, the lead vocal recalls the pleasing retro-pop tang of La's frontman Lee Mavers, a comparison matched by the track's gleaming popcraft.

Cigarette is carved from clattering, grooving instrumentation which the impeccable production clips into a crisp and catchy shape, giving every part a chance to shine rather than clumping it all together in a foggy purple haze. Girl for Samson's fifth album, Blend all the Seasons, is due out at the beginning of 2025. What a way to start a year!"

Girl for Samson Embraces 60s Grooves and Indie Vibes with "You Better Run" and "Cigarette"

"American band Girl for Samson unveils two standout tracks, You Better Run and Cigarette, showcasing their ability to blend retro influences with a contemporary edge. Known for their thoughtful, unpredictable music, the band continues to craft songs that feel timeless yet fresh, drawing on 60s rock and 90s indie inspirations.

You Better Run kicks off with syncopated organ chords and driving rock 'n' roll guitars, setting the stage for a funky drum groove that transitions into a hazy, psychedelic vibe. The drifting vocals and harmonized backing vocals shape the mood, while the arrival of a dynamic chorus propels the track forward, offering an uplifting and textured listening experience.

Cigarette leans into a grooving bassline, conga rhythms, and atmospheric keyboard elements. These layers give way to wailing guitar accents and catchy vocals, building towards a powerful chorus. The track reflects a fusion of 60s rock aesthetics and 90s Manchester indie vibes, creating a sound that feels both nostalgic and forward-thinking.

Formed in 2000, Girl for Samson consists of Patrick Meagher, Johnny Marie, and Steven Brown. Over two decades, they've built a reputation for crafting albums that balance groove, thoughtfulness, and unpredictability. The band's discography, released at intervals of roughly five years, includes 12 (2004), sleepnovox (2009), Harriet (2015), and Old into Young (2022). Their latest album, Blend all the Seasons, due in 2025, marks a shift in their creative process - moving from individually crafted songs to tracks developed collaboratively from grooves and jams.

With You Better Run and Cigarette, Girl for Samson offers a glimpse into their evolving sound, filled with sass, groove, and an appreciation for musical history."

“Thinking of you, Love from your mutual blue”; was the inscription found pencilled on the back of a Curtis Mayfield record that started Mutual Blue.

Objecting to the heavy rock and punk bands plaguing their local scene Mutual Blue are bringing the focus back to what really matters to them; beautiful songs, cutting lyricism and a refreshing sincerity, all wrapped up in chorus drenched guitars.

Citing The Smiths , The Stone Roses and Ride as their heart on sleeve influences they’ve stamped their electric live show across London at classic indie venues like The Old Blue Last, The Half Moon in Putney and the O2 Shepherds Bush Empire to buzzing crowds. 

Their debut releases EP “Wake Me Up Tomorrow” and single “Habit of Him” have achieved over  70,000 and 79,000 streams respectively and 2023’s live album “Can You Hear Me Now? (Live at the Amersham Arms)” brought their raw, live sound to online audiences like no band in their first year together has. 2024 was a year of sonic development for Mutual Blue and saw the release of four singles culminating in the shoe-gazing jangle of Skydive Eyes - Out Now!
