SAM JR. (BROKEN SOCIAL SCENE) ANNOUNCES UPCOMING DEBUT LP, SHARES MORE NEW MUSIC
SAM JR.’S SELF-TITLED DEBUT LP OUT MARCH 10 VIA ARTS & CRAFTS
Fuzzed out guitars with psychedelic laced wah wahs and bongos?? And flutes? rock oozing buzzed out hippie rock ? Evil nihilist ooze-rock slacker fuzz? There’s a lot of play within that framework of Sam Jr.’s (aka, Sam Goldberg Jr.) new self-titled debut so we’ll leave it to you to decide for yourself what Sam Jr. is all about when the appropriate moment comes.
The album’s first single, the Dave Fridmann (Flaming Lips/MGMT/Tame Impala) mixed single “You Lock The Door, I Broke The Window”, an “anthem for career anarchists” lead the way last year for more new music from the celebrated songwriter
He shares another new track from the album, “Keep It Buried”, a song which is “my ode to all of us going through our days telling people ‘we’re doing great’ but at times behind a smile we’re crumbling with anxiety inside,” says Goldberg. “The rhythm guitar part reminds me of a ZZ Top riff. I think I’d seen a doc on them around the time I wrote the song so they wormed into my brain. I also acquired an obsession with the wah wah pedal out of the blue for some reason while making my album. I have no idea how it happened but I have an addictive personality so it’s on every song now.
The video for the song is about a farmboy out mowing the lawn comes across an injured stranger who has crashed a motorcycle onto his property. The unsuspecting farmboy takes the stranger into his home to tend to his wounds, but it soon becomes clear that something is amiss with the wayward stranger. Farmboy breaks out his stash of fantastic fungi to cure the stranger of what ails him, and together they embark on a psychedelic journey. What could go wrong?https://spillmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/Sam-Jr.jpg
