Sam Evian: Premium (Colored Vinyl) Vinyl LP

New York-based singer-songwriter Sam Evians debut album, Premium, features a collection of songs informed equally by the likes of Beach Boys, Cass McCombs, and Shuggie Otis. Open and honest lyrics gently sit on top of spacious, fun backdrop of guitar chords, aching pedal steel, Wurlitzers, and light synths creating a sound he describes as an analogue dream in a digital world. Further, Evian demonstrates emotional depth whilemanaging to keep the mood casual and relaxed, which makes listening to the album a very refreshing experience. Check out I Need a Man, Dark Love, Cactus, and Carolina, Big Car, and Tear.
