Samson’s voice has never sounded more moving, committed or confident, his yearning falsetto as touching as his gentle tenor.

comparisons to Sufjan Stevens and Patrick Watson are not inappropriate - while his arrangements are intricate yet never ostentatious, with precisely detailed programming inseparable from the warmth of his analogue instrumentation. a conspicuously tender thread runs through these eight songs, from ‘Calescent’, its eloquently poignant opener, to ‘Lacuna’’s fuzzy nostalgia, from ‘Beyond The Dust’s sweet serenity to ‘The Smallest Sliver’s redemptive fragility.
