Earlier this year, Samana – Rebecca Rose Harris and Franklin Mockett released their third full-length self-titled album (reviewed here) that explored mythic landscapes, forgotten memories, and the innate search for freedom and peace. Alongside a new live video of them performing Two Wrongs, they are announcing a special all-artist curated November Tour following their sold-out UK ‘In Tune With The Infinite Tour’ earlier this year (more details below).
Road Records Present SAMANA November Tour
“SAMANA’s music is centred around an emotionally raw and magnetic delivery of a shamanic and cinematic proportion, offering a passage to transcend into worlds unseen. Evolving along multi-disciplinary lines, Samana possess a unique spirit born from a nomadic lifestyle, a participation in Celtic ceremonies and their deep affiliation with the natural world. The duo own a creative, analogue production house born from their Georgian small-holding in the deep corners of the Welsh Countryside, from which is born their anthropological excavations, conjuring layered narratives that address concepts of dreamtime, death, transcendence and collective consciousness. Samana’s live performances are being cited through a lens of more of a spiritual, shamanic experience and service of healing than that of just a musical performance. In an increasingly online society and a frequently fractured world, Samana’s unyielding openness matters more than ever before.”
“November brings an all-artist curated event run by our imprint, The Road Records, where SAMANA will be bringing an intimate carnation to listeners with piano, guitars, Bodhran and Vocals, along with string accompaniment, offering an evening of profundity, set in the sacred circle of the round. Our mission is to deliver a magnificently transcendental and immersive sonic and atmospheric experience, breaking down the performer/audience barrier and easing all into the soft, embracing ambience of a living room. Emphasis is placed firmly on the sonic deliverance of the music, offering a binaural soundscape held within the spaces we inhabit. All such realms constitute towards a fully immersive state of interconnectedness, where the ethereal and the emotional realms fuse. Our imprint ‘The Road Records’ is on a mission to achieving artistic sustainability for uncompromising artistry in what is presently an incredibly challenging climate for independent artists in the UK. This means that once venue hire and artist expenses are taken care of, all ticket proceeds go directly into the pockets of the crew of 6 artists, enabling the evening to be infused with magic and helping the continuation of more tailored and special events for the future. The success of our sold-out UK ‘In Tune With The Infinite Tour’ this June, in support of our eponymous release of our third record, has prompted a run of UK dates this November to meet the demand for what has been a profoundly moving and effective model in delivering grassroots music directly to audience members.”
