Samana Interview With 'For The Rabbits'
We were interviewed by For The Rabbits magazine about our approach towards creation, what music were listening to and what's next on the cards for Samana. Check it out!
"Samana’s music seems to exist at the meeting point of a variety of genres, one second they’re dipping their toes into the psych-folk sounds of the 1960’s, the next they’re channelling Mazzy Star-like dream pop, or twanging nods to the Delta Blues. The pair always seem to find a way to root their music into the idea of connection, their songs are stories of humanity, nature and the pursuit of understanding. Their music seems to tap into something that’s almost out of fashion in music now; a wide-eyed desire to explore freedom, the natural world and community, to tap into something bigger than the self and to find a different way to live life outside of the everyday."

Music Video Premiere
A huge thank you to Clash Magazine for premiering our music video for 'Live For The Road'
"Surging, beatific songwriting, there's an Autumn charm to Samana's work, a kind of gilded appeal that resonates with folk charm" - CLASH
Live For The Road
Our new single is here! 'Live For The Road' is a song of celebration. It reconciles the power of freedom, the power of instincts, the power of fate and of decision. It speaks of life as a path; a dream, an open road. It recognizes the importance of the present moment and the realisation of the journey. To believe, is to radiate the will of truth and honesty, never to fade. Dive in dear ones…
This is the face of a happy man. Franklin swimming in the wild lakes of Slovenia. I wanted to share his beaming smile in celebration of the part of us we will be sharing with you tomorrow, a defining part of Samana; the notion of the power of freedom, dreams and instinct all wrapped up into sound and vision. Stay tuned beautiful people.
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.”
