Swiss Brooklyn-based Indie artist Sam Himself just released his long-awaited new EP “Slow Drugs”.
The five-track EP follows hymnic lead-single “Slow Drugs” and Sam’s very own version of Bruce Springsteen’s “Dancing In the Dark”. The new EP represents a stylistic departure from the artist’s earlier, more band-driven recordings. Touring and performing solo have inspired tunes that function equally well with a full band onstage or when Sam’s all by himself. In the studio, the recording reunited Josh Werner (bass - Iggy Pop; CocoRosie) and Parker Kindred (drums - Jeff Buckley; ANOHNI) under the direction of mixer and producer Daniel Schlett (The War on Drugs, DIIV, Amen Dunes), Sam’s longtime creative collaborator, first listener and Second Beatle.
