Samms - Bouquet LP","description":"\u003cp\u003e*About the album:*\u003cbr\u003e\n*Bouquet *(May 3, 2024) is an inward exploration of one’s cumulation of\u003cbr\u003e\nconnections, purpose, happiness and experiences. Dissecting the psyche,\u003cbr\u003e\nlike pulling petals from flowers. It always goes back to the existential\u003cbr\u003e\n“Do I love me? Do I love me not?” A binary sway between guilt and\u003cbr\u003e\nforgiveness, self-loathing and progress. You reach a point when you realize\u003cbr\u003e\nyou've gone through the entire bouquet—something that is often a blessing,\u003cbr\u003e\nbut can feel daunting if taken apart piece by piece. In the end, all we can\u003cbr\u003e\nhope to find is beauty, memory, and a place to put it all.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSonically, it's a love letter to early albums from New Order, Depeche Mode,\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Cure, Yellow Magic Orchestra, Kraftwerk, Ruth and Absolute Body Control\u003cbr\u003e\nto name a few.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e*About the artist:*\u003cbr\u003e\nFrom his home in Winnipeg, Canada, C. Samms explores the familiar sounds of\u003cbr\u003e\nsynthesizers and drum machines. With the cold, imperfect pulse of\u003cbr\u003e\ntransistors and modulated frequencies, he gathers precious memories and\u003cbr\u003e\npersonal experiences to form abstract, emotionally charged yet universally\u003cbr\u003e\nrelatable lyrics. It’s this combination of warm and cold–empathetic and\u003cbr\u003e\nsynthetic–that drives C. Samms to stay true to the source material of\u003cbr\u003e\nclassic synth-pop acts from the early 80s and decidedly not the neon glow\u003cbr\u003e\nof retro\/synthwave.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter years of wading through waves and capturing sounds, C. Samms\u003cbr\u003e\nself-released his second full length album, *Bouquet*, on May 3, 2024—over\u003cbr\u003e\nfive full years after his first album, *Synthetic Properties*.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AOK Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49886483382587,"sku":"LP-AOK-002","price":26.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0916\/7831\/0715\/files\/Boquet-LP.jpg?v=1736534192","url":"https:\/\/clandestinedistribution.com\/products\/c-samms-bouquet-lp","provider":"Clandestine Distribution ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
