Selected Press
“Meditative deep reflections, swooning wanderlust, an anaesthetising reach - think Nico, Jarboe, Mazzy Star”
Voted No.1 psychedelic-folk album of 2022
★★★★
Mojo Magazine
“A record that truly inspires awe. Enough to transcend the listener into a state of melancholy bliss”
9/10
Line of Best Fit
“Music that re-envisions the open road as a pathway for possibility. Surging, beatific songwriting, there's an Autumnal charm, a kind of gilded appeal”
CLASH Magazine
“Samana create music almost entirely of themselves.
Imagine Robbie Basho fronting latter-day Bad Seeds and you won’t be too far off the mark”
Backseat Mafia
“One of my favourite acts of all time. I can’t recommend anything more highly!”
Guy Garvey, BBC Radio 6
“It is an unequivocally compelling reflection of humanity”
Atwood Magazine
“Samana’s album is one that confronts the heaviest elements of the human condition –
alternately surrendering to this heaviness and transcending it.”
Still Listening Magazine
“It’s such a mesmerising and all-consuming delivery, it just stops you in your tracks”
Folk Radio UK
“Here’s one for lovers of voluptuous slow burners. Samana know how to make the very best of slow-paced sounds!”
Shindig
“Mistaking Samana for a product of the Deep South is easy when their second album sounds so raw, rustic and drowsy.
A predominantly dreamy vibe.”
Uncut Magazine
“Its haunting and hypnotic in its minimalism, sitting somewhere between Tim Buckley and PJ Harvey with shades of Nick Cave and Mazzy Star”
