a collection of simple songs for the lost, the lonely and the hopeful

Berlin-based Will Samson presents a fragile blend of acoustic pop and ambient electronics through Japan's Nature Bliss/PLOP records - home to music from Rod Modell and F.S. Blumm. 'Hello Friends, Goodbye Friends' is a very canny blend of falsetto vocals strongly reminding of Tom Krell's HTDW album, with tender acoustic guitar, the most tingling brand of lo-fi electronics and decayed piano ambience. We can imagine quite a lot of people falling deeply in love with this release. Check! - Boomkat (UK)


a breathtaking debut album full of beautiful and desolate moments.
- Darla Records (US)


Somewhere in between Justin Vernon’s ethereal falsetto and Peter Broderick’s characteristic charm, Samson’s vocals hover above the instrumentation like the morning mist gently caressing a meandering stream. - The 405 (UK)


a personal fav so far for this year. Highly recommended!
- Fluid Radio (UK)


Backed by a mix of delicately pealing electric guitars and mandolin-like acoustic strums, Samson weaves his multi-tracked vocals—a lovely harmonic blend of falsetto and baritone pitches—into eight entrancing song settings....a haunting collection of songcraft best heard either in the early morning hours or the depths of night
- Textura (CA)


a different kind of soul music for the 21st Century
