Thank you to Spanish magazine Il Cibicida for their beautiful and detailed review of our album ‘All One Breath’
Here is a snippet of the review:
“Visceral: this is the most suitable term to describe and summarize the sophomore of the Samana project. The basic slowcore sounds are mixed with blues hints stripped of the superfluous that lead to chamber folk, where Rebecca's voice dominates the scene, oscillating between the intense PJ Harvey, of which we find the more minimal and sparse influences of "White Chalk ”(2007), his“ heir ”Anna Calvi, the cold and tormented Nico and the ethereal and melancholy little mermaid Hope Sandoval of Mazzy Star. The intertwined hands that emerge from the rocks depicted on the cover symbolize a single entity and a single breath, that of Rebecca and Franklin, united by love and the search for the new, and the world around them in a harmonic dance, almost a ritual , concepts best illustrated by the percussion and choirs that mark The Glory Of Love and the piano that frames All One Breath. The spiritual path of "All One Breath" acts as an invitation to regain possession of ourselves and our time, as well as rediscovering harmony with the environment that surrounds us, the desire to overcome our borders and learn, looking at everything with eyes different, to be able to capture a multitude of small details, expressions and changes at the first shot, just like a skilled photographer with a Leica M6 loaded with black and white film in search of the perfect shot, forgetting the superfluous.”
