About
As "one of the South's most exciting reggae acts", Brighton-based collective Samsara create an open minded and fresh take on the roots tradition. Their music pays tribute to the original innovators of the genre while refusing to be bound by any stylistic conventions. The result has been described as "a startlingly new angle on the Jamaican sound."
In the short time since the release of their new "Good Omens" EP the band has been booked to play alongside reggae legends such as The Wailers, Mad Professor, The Wailing Souls and Toots and the Maytals. With a tightly woven live show which combines intricate musicianship with raw energy and infectious positivity, Samsara have become firm favourites at venues and festivals across the land.
"Good Omens" is Samsara's third studio release, containing some of their most exciting material so far. From the genre-defying syncopated rhythms of the opening track, ‘Move’, to the melodic bounce of ‘Effigy’ and the raw, hypnotic dub of ‘Follow You’, the record is a fresh and hook-laden take on the genre, morphing the reggae sound into something wholly new and exciting.
With a video and remix EP planned for the coming months and an extensive nationwide tour already under their collective belt this year, Samsara's hard work and creative vision have established them as "one of the best reggae bands in the UK at the moment."
