Samantha Crain
You Had Me At Goodbye
Full Time Hobby
the album constantly reinvents itself with every song - one moment, you’ll hear an intimate affair with light string accompaniment, the next, a bouncing pop-inflected tune complete with scuzzy synths, all unified by richly personal lyrics.
her 3rd album was Written over 4 months in winter at home in Oklahoma - “Oklahoma is beautiful but my relationship with it is complicated[…]it’s extremely Christian, conservative, and whilst people say it’s ‘friendly,’ really, people are only friendly if you’re white and aren’t dressed unconventionally. I feel welcome and alienated all at once.” Bolstered by the visionary production of John Vanderslice (Spoon, the Mountain Goats, Strand of Oaks), & mixed and engineered by Jacob Winik (The Magnetic Fields, Hot Buttered Rum), the album’s as exceptionally well crafted as the songs themselves.
***Presale orders for both formats will receive a limited indies only bonus CD ‘Kinda’, which features acoustic versions of the whole album, plus the bonus track ‘Re-Run Cartoon’. ***
