"from your lungs"
LISTEN TO: Samuel Proffitt's dark and dreamy Звуки [Sounds]
There is something about the core sounds, the piano chords pushed tenderly as if with pained hands that gives this exercise in moving ambiance, beats and distant ghosts a heavy reality.

Samuel Proffitt grew up in Houston, TX, entrenched in a mix of screamo, punk, indie, folk, and jazz; however, his own music stems from personal writings, poetry, and interest in philosophy, taking the time to learn chords on his guitar in order to express his thoughts in a more sonorous form. He is currently in the 3rd year of his PhD at Brown University. Today he continues to challenge genres and musical boundaries and confronts the audience with an acute, weighty deluge of tones and sonic layers allowing a momentary entry into his world, in which the listener is encouraged to question, like the artist himself, what it means to be human. Samuel has been featured in The Fader, Vice, Rolling Stone, Noisey, KCRW, Paste and on Spotify’s Top 50 Viral Songs in the U.S. and Best of Fresh Finds.
note: From time to time we will post up a "Listen To" Post. These are tracks that, while might not have engendered a full review ie Post, we do like what we are hearing and want to share in some way. Sometimes that will be as a stark, short post here or on our socials but our intent as always is to help artists gain exposure. Art to us is a conversation of ideas... converse.
