Like Doveman, the NYC outfit he sometimes performs with, Samamidon creates a potent brand of whisper-folk that straddles the fine line between devastatingly sad, and beautiful. His latest album, All is Well, drops today via the Bedroom Community label – see the track “Saro,” below, and be sure to listen to Samamidon’s brilliant deconstruction of Tears For Fears “Head Over Heels” off his 2007 LP But This Chicken Proved Falsehearted.

I did a feature on the covers of Sam Amidon over at Cover Lay Down a few months ago in anticipation of this release, too…come by for a few more Samamidon tracks, plus a bit more history on the Amidon family.
The most interesting album of 2008 so far.
thanks for the link to the interview I did with Sam.
this guy is supremely talented and I’m glad people are taking notice.
Whoa, I got that last album in the mail a ways back and totally didn’t connect it to the new one. Weird.
