Will Samson + Meadow Meadow at The Jam Jar
Headfirst Editor's Pick

"Will’s genteel falsetto drifts between dreamy analogue electronics for a unique take on ambient dream folk. The result’s something like Brian Eno producing Bon Iver; an easy recommendation for fans of James Blake, Kurt Vile, Arthur Russel, Nils Frahm."

"...we are offered the chance to glimpse an intriguing artist expressing his search through music. 8/10" - Clash Magazine. "Samson's meditative mix of folk and electronica has an almost spiritual dimension. 7/10" - UNCUT. "Samson's vocal's provide the kind of smooth, shimmering palette that indie dreams are made of" - Loud & Quiet. MEADOW MEADOW Meadow Meadow is a collaboration between vocals and nylon-string guitar recordings, housed within a strange, electronic world. They incorporate elements of field recordings and synthesised textures to give the songs depth to create a psychedelic wonderland filled with life-affirming warmth. Switching seamlessly between campfire-cosiness and a more expansive joy, their music is bursting with a giddy imagination and sonic treats that reward repeated listens.
