Listen: Sampha Previews Debut Album With ‘Slow Lights’
Instrumental cut previews the Young Turks signing’s 2014 full-length.
London producer/vocalist Sampha is previewing his eventual 2014 debut full-length - due out later this year - with a new track, ‘Slow Lights’.
The instrumental cut is just something ‘i started’, according to the Young Turks signing. Three minutes long, it stretches out the extremes of Sampha’s production ability, scattering layer upon layer of twisted vocal samples on top of buzzsaw synths and playful, off-beat percussion.
