There is certainly nothing wrong with chanteuses -- we are quite lucky to now have a fair few in our aural midst as some of the younguns seem to take off -- but neu-folk composer Samara Lubelski is absolutely not a chanteuse by nature.

In truth to her pedigree in Metabolismus, Tower Recordings, Hall of Fame, the Sonora Pine, Pacer, Matt Valentine et al., shes a master of atmospheric textures at both juggernaut tempi and languorous sonic canvasses, her part as one of whole. Samara, with dew-flecked voice and slippery strung chords, makes that languor a tour of both honeyed breakfast plate and the midday crackle of dried grass.
