Sam Beste

For his new album, Under a Familiar Sun, Sam Beste AKA The Vernon Spring further refines his unique sound…sitting somewhere between new age, neoclassical, jazz and a kind of pastoral electronica. It is the most immediately rewarding exercise in ambience you’re ever likely to hear, but it contains ideas and melodies, vague sensations and politically driven statements, that will stay with you long after the last notes fade away.

Taken from his new album, Under a Familiar Sun, and featuring visuals by Eric Timothy Carlson, watch the videos for The Vernon Spring’s ‘Requiem for Reem’, and ‘The Breadline’, a piece centred around a poem by Max Porter.
