Samuel Escher will be releasing two new studio albums in 2020, alongside 6 standalone singles written specifically for streaming.

I have been busy writing through the winter and now comes the time to share new music with you. I am very excited to announce that I will be releasing two new albums this year. The first, is the follow-up record in my Wilderness series. The album, titled Migration, will be released in the autumn with the lead single, Seasons, coming out in the summer.

The second, Prairie Lights Vol. 1 is a meditative drone piece recorded on the Blackland Prairie in Texas. It is my first instrumental album and focuses on using the soundscape of the prairie and instrumentation to create a tranquil place for escape, even if only for an hour. I will be uploading this with the equinox.

I will also be releasing six standalone singles at varying times throughout the year. I have been writing in the folk, pop and electronic genres and I am excited to share these singles with you. Not an album, just good old-fashioned singles for the streaming.

I look forward to sharing music with you in 2020 and hope you’ll stick around..

Cheers,

Samuel

In the true spirit of independence, I have opened my own store on Etsy! Over the coming weeks I will be adding limited editions of my poetry, music, art and other creations and I invite you to go over and have a browse. This is your first stop for my work and, as always, if you have questions or you’re looking for something special send a message. Enjoy the store!

I have just finished recording my second album, Migration and intend to release that in 2020. With that in mind, I’ve decided to re-release Wilderness in October 2019 to build on the great year I’ve already had. Building a profile as a small, independent artist is a slow process and the re-release coincides with a small, intimate tour that I have been organising. I always intended to release singles from Wilderness but was not in the position to do that through the earlier part of the year. So, I will be releasing Wilderness and the first single, Embers, on October 4th 2019, followed by two further singles to support the re-release. Those who have already bought the album will be able to download the re-release for free and I will also be releasing a limited-run of vinyl which will be available from my website, Bandcamp and on the tour.
