Queens-based songwriter, Sam and the Sea is preparing to release a new EP in late 2020. Surviving the Golden Age is excited to premiere the lead single from the album, “The Light.”
The song’s almost krautrock approach is reminiscent of bands like Yo La Tengo or Fujiya & Miyagi. You can hear shades of Elliott Smith or Ben Gibbard in the song’s confessional lyrics. Sam says “[the] song about being locked away from happiness, working and waiting until a spark finally cracks through.”
