'Begin Again' Live Session Premiered With Folk Radio
Watch the video premiere of our live session for ‘Begin Again’ featured with Folk Radio.
“Harris’s voice, even during the quieter notes, holds such beauty and serenity, balancing deeper sombre tones against gentle fragile notes. It’s such a mesmerising and all-consuming delivery, it just stops you in your tracks.”
Thank You Again Guy Garvey!
Yet again, another huge thank you to Guy Garvey on BBC6 Music for playing ‘Harvest’ on his Sunday show and for his continued passion and support. “It must be my most played tune in the last two or three years - it’s remarkable”

Begin Again
Dear Friends, We have an announcement. In the later part of March we will be releasing our next song ‘Begin Again’; an intimate portrayal of the delicate sinewy between love and loss. It is a piece of music orchestrated with tenderness, transforming vulnerability into sound; the proximity of a distant longing, a piece of silk caught in-between the branches of two tall trees gently swaying in the stillness of an approaching dawn. We look forwards to sharing it with you.
Buzz Magazine
Thanks to Buzz magazine for the mention.
“More coupled-up rural studio action in the form of Samana – Rebecca Harris and Franklin Mockett, who started out in Brighton but live and record in a Brecon Beacons farmhouse. Their 2019 debut album was released via FatCat, although this three-song followup EP, Melancholy Heat, isn’t (Paperhouse Music seem to be responsible). Samana’s beat is shoegazey, navelgazey country-rock with nice jazzy drum brushes and an aura not unlike Mazzy Star (the title track) or Jeff Buckley (All One Breath).”

“Samana’s music, it is an unequivocally compelling reflection of humanity sewn with delicate meditative harmonies and rustling alt country instrumentation.”

New EP Melancholy Heat Out Now
We are delighted to share with you all our latest EP ‘Melancholy Heat’
‘Time past is the present and the present is the future. This is one of deep reflection; a journey through time and perspectives, articulated through sound and poetry. Composed during the global pandemic, it is a deep inward reflection of individual and collective consciousness, a rumination on our relationship with nature and a calling of reconnection with the ancestral wisdom we all possessed, which lies at the heart of all things.’
Nothing But Hope And Passion
A huge thank you to ‘Nothing But Hope And Passion’ for their beautiful write up on 'All One Breath'
"There’s something magical about this track, especially in its spare performance. According to the band it’s “a rumination of our interrelations with nature, and the impressions we carve on the world which surrounds us” and that sums up the mysterious nature of it pretty well. It feels like a wind howling through the trees on a cold winter day and that makes it a perfect tune for the current times."
