March 2024 sees the release of Sam Lee’s fourth studio album, <em style="margin:0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;background:transparent;border:0px;">Songdreaming</em>. His highly-praised previous release, 2020’s <em style="margin:0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;background:transparent;border:0px;">Old Wow</em>, was described as ‘A dazzling fusion of nature and song’ (The Observer).</p><p style="margin-bottom:1.5rem;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;font-size:16px;background:#ffffff;border:0px;color:#000000;font-family:'open sans', arial, sans-serif;">Sam’s music has its roots in traditional folk song, but imagines it anew, creating a sound rich in melody and invention. His lyrics focus on the perilous state of the natural world, something that has informed his work since his debut. <em style="margin:0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;background:transparent;border:0px;">Songdreaming</em> ranges from acoustic songs, to drone soundscapes, from the beautiful balladry of <em style="margin:0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;background:transparent;border:0px;">Sweet Girl McRee</em> to the gospel tinges of <em style="margin:0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;background:transparent;border:0px;">Leaves Of Life,</em> and the whiteout noise close of <em style="margin:0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;background:transparent;border:0px;">Bushes and Briars</em>.
