Our Next Release
The countdown is slowly melting away. On Thursday the 19th we are releasing our next piece of art. An amalgamation of sound and vision, of discoveries, borders and instincts. A piece where we can all dream again. Keep your eyes peeled…
An incredible day of the rebalance of restoration, of hope and of humanity. Theres a huge amount to be done to bridge a divided nation, and indeed a divided world, but the abundant, radiant smiles of today give great comfort to a future where bridges will replace walls. Over the next three weeks we have so much to share with you, to extend feelings of freedom, of dreams and of discovery during this time. Keep your eyes open dear friends...

'The Spirit Moving Review'
Thank you to Music News for the 4/5 star review
“The first thing that hits you are the incredible vocals of Rebecca Rose. It’s a voice whose hushed, sultry tone and effortless delivery that will stop you in your tracks. And it’s also a voice that floats perfectly over the hazy, delicate sound of Samana. Opener ‘Passing Me By’ fits perfectly into the ‘dreampop’ world, with gently strummed guitars, Fleetwood Mac / Albatross-esque echoing guitar lines and delicate drums which dance delicately around your ear drums. Latest single ’The Glory Of God’ follows suit, all be it with a slight americana twang to the guitars, and EP closer ’The Spirit Moving’ sounds like to could be taken from the soundtrack of a Quentin Tarantino film, riding a deep groove and filled with a devious air of suspense.”

'The Spirit Moving' With Gigwise
Dive into our premiere with Gigwise where we talk through the philosophy and creation of each song on our new EP ‘The Spirit Moving’
“If you feel like you need to take out your brain and put it in ice water, give Samana’s stunning new EP a listen. It’s fourteen minutes of trembling, gorgeous folk!”
-Gigwise
'The Spirit Moving' EP Out Now!
We are so proud to announce the release of our EP ‘The Spirit Moving’
‘The spirit Moving EP’ is an interaction with the realms of the soul. All three songs are improvisations, being immediate impressions, lifted from the dialogue of the subconscious onto 1/4 inch tape. Carving out the contours of instinctive emotions and poetical intuition, they are conjured from the transcendental ritual of creation. Each song is a journey, a message, a philosophy, a deliberation, preserved and imprinted into its own sonic landscape. Together, they conjure an observation of the spirit moving through dimensions of time and existence, and into the search of being.’
'EP' Release Tomorrow
Tomorrow we are proud to announce that are ‘EP’ is being released, for all you dear souls to immerse yourselves in. Stay tuned!

‘The nomadic duo share a beautiful acoustic version of their latest single. Call it experimental, call it art rock, call it alt-folk or folk rock; however you personally classify Samana’s music, it is an unequivocally compelling reflection of humanity.”

'Passing Me By' on BBC 6 Music
Yesterday, we were surfing in a beautiful rocky cove, being challenged, embraced and realigned by the elements of storm Alex. Blown about by our boards as we ran from the waves, along the sand dunes and back into the car, we turned on BBC Radio 6 Music and were met by Guy Garvey's Finest Hour & Elbow playing 'Passing Me By' on the radio as the rain cascaded outside. You can listen to it here. We are played at 1:11:53
" I LOVE it"
- Guy Garvey

Our Interview With 'Made In Shoreditch Magazine'
We were interviewed by Made In Shoreditch Magazine about our music, in which we discussed our recording process, philosophy on creation and feelings on lock down as musicians.
“We seek for our music to emulate a living entity, with the lifeblood being the very performance of each song. We use analogue production and recording methods as a frame to capture the sonics of each space in which the performances are made, and owe our influence predominantly to the landscapes that surround the conception of each song. Our work is the product of a way of life; a medium of expression and documentation as we live it.”
