Sam Lily is a singer-songwriter and folk artist forging a spectrum out of the genre. Blending varying frames of rock, from acoustic to indie, to contemporary, he creates a contemplative sonic dimension. The textures and the fluidity of it is ready to dive and dissolve into. If you enjoy the work of Hozier, his passing depth, hypnotic flows, and the vocal weight, you’re sure to enjoy the work of Sam Lily. His latest release is the ‘Twigs and Sticks’ EP, a collection that boasts three tracks, each one reinforcing the artist’s premium folk style and his explorative set ups. ‘Stay Sad’ leads the collection with its resonant and luminous textures.
It is an intriguing presentation as it feeds melancholy into an uplifting/ascending instrumental atmosphere. The guitar lines are fuzzy and warm. Sam’s baritones fit right into this backdrop, rising and falling through it. We see some blues rock frames also seamlessly integrated into this lo-fi melodic continuum. There are marked similarities to The Arctic Monkeys, The Neighbourhood, and Franz Ferdinand as well. Listen Now!
The track is available for streaming on popular sites like Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, and Amazon Music!
