Will Samson

  • The Glad Cafe 1006a Pollokshaws Road Glasgow United Kingdom (map)

Will Samson presents his forthcoming album 'Sings Again' at the Glad.

With the use of his beloved tape machines, Samson has been exploring the spaces between electronic, folk and ambient music for well over a decade, with releases on labels such as Wichita Recordings / 12k and touring with artists such as Efterklang, S. Carey, The Album Leaf.

'Samson's meditative mix of folk and electronica has an almost spiritual dimension’ - UNCUT

'the kind of smooth, shimmering palette that indie dreams are made of' - Loud & Quiet

'A beautiful, hushed and contemplative record, the falsetto reminding you of Bon Iver, the intricacy and tenderness recalling kindred spirits such as Nils Frahm and Sufjan Stevens' - The Sunday Times

'A delicate, persuasive balance between ambience and formal song structures… Minimal keyboard patterns are infilled with pattering, glitchy beats... Choir–like wash, pedal steel and double bass bring further colour.' - MOJO

'Gently cascading acoustics, country lapsteel and glitchy, crunchy tick-tocks, it might not just provide for want of serenity but for want of sleep: all the components shuffling quietly under the crackle of tape-machines.' - The Line of Best Fit
