SINGLE REVIEW: Samson For President - Shine

News
Written By Amy

'Shine' exudes an atmospheric and sombre ambiance, featuring a gentle, ethereal sound complemented by captivating vocals. It smoothly transitions into a more expansive, absorbing post-rock energy reminiscent of artists like Mogwai or Sigur Ros. The experience can be described as nervously unsettling, skillfully contrasting tranquillity with bold, harrowing moments.

The drums maintain a steady yet muffled presence, contributing to a ghostly quality, while the guitars offer a distorted, subdued darkness. Above it all, ornate vocals chime in, adding an ethereal dimension. 'Shine' carries a distinct gothic ambiance, evoking a deep sense of discontent and uncertainty.
