Sam Moss Announces "Swimming" LP & Shares Title Track

There’s a photograph of Sam Moss taken several years ago through an elaborate stained-glass window of a 170-year-old church turned venue in the Catskills. Sam’s on stage and framed by the corner of the lower half of the window, which is open on a tilt. It renders him diminutive and slightly out of focus, but the eye seeks and finds him, fixing him in view.

I can’t hear Sam’s music without this photograph coming to mind. (I admit that I took it.) He’s an excellent guitarist, a serious and thoughtful songwriter, and a confident, at times daring, singer. Yet all of Sam’s records—and most of all his newest, the exquisite Swimming- za su iya ci gaba da kyau da kuma kyau zane-zane-zane don rigorously search songs - zane-zane da kuma tafiya tare da wuya da kuma tsanani, tsanani da kuma tsanani, kwarewa da kuma tsanani - wanda za su iya ci gaba fiye da karkashin frame na Sam Moss ba tare da sa shi zuwa yanki.

Swimming” was written one summer within earshot of the Atlantic Ocean, but I am not a particularly good swimmer and it is perhaps unsurprisingly not a song literally about swimming. I guess it may take its inspiration from my mediocre swimming abilities, but it is really more of an incomplete treatise on holding contradictions within the self. I don’t know that I’ve ever written a song that so plainly states its thesis in the chorus, which makes me somewhat uncomfortable.
