Samia
$18 ($16 adv.).
media release: "Samia could be one of those perpetually coming-of-age figures like Stevie Nicks, Liz Phair, and Carly Rae Jepsen, dwelling in the rapturous precipices, chasing sunsets and self-discovery no matter the cost." - Pitchfork
“Samia follows up last year's The Baby with this elegant, perfectly paced new single. Evoking Caroline Polachek as much as it does classic indie and emo, it's an enticing hybrid.” - PAPER
“The emerging artist is a force with her literary songwriting that has a way of piercing your heart - and here, her words blare until they blister.” - Thrillist
“Samia’s debut LP The Baby was one of the best, deeply underrated indie releases of 2020. She’s an excellent songwriter, and songs like ‘Pool’ and ‘Is There Something In The Movies?’ linger long after your first listen. Fortunately, we don’t have to wait long for new music from Samia: She’s following up her debut with EP Scout, featuring songs that carry the capacity to fuck you up as much as the ones on The Baby, including an excellent cover of When In Rome’s ‘The Promise.’ If you haven’t checked out her music yet, please don’t sleep on Samia.” - The A.V. Club
