Last week, Will Samson (who we have previously featured here), released a brand new EP entitled Light Shadows. The follow up to last year’s album Balance, the EP was influenced by a highly personal and difficult time in Samson’s life, namely the death of his father. I’m not in a position to get into it too much, but you can read a great piece by Samson himself over at Fluid Radio.
Light Shadows comprises of four songs that are not direct representations of the event, but rather products of the ruminations and realisations that Samson has faced in the months following his loss. Fans of Ólafur Arnalds or the later Bon Iver stuff will love it.
You can listen to it now at the bottom of the Fluid Radio post I mentioned earlier.
Also, check out the video for ‘Rusting Giants’ below:

P.S. Samson has also been working in collaboration with producer Tom Demac. Tomorrow (5th Nov), the pair release a double A-side single, It Grows Again. It’s rather different from Samson’s solo work, but very nice all the same. Listen on Soundcloud via AUS Music here.
