Samson Wrote - Pigeon (2019)

After 8 years of songwriting, daydreaming, collapsing, and recollecting, Samson Wrote (the experimental folk project of Sam Boer) is overjoyed to share Pigeon, a collection of songs about how familial upbringing affects the most intimate moments of life. These are stories about camp counselling, substance abuse, sexual perplexity, New Year’s parties, hot chocolate, bandages, groping, and all the things we should have said. There are kisses overlooking the Speed river, dances along Yonge street, weeping on hardwood floors and sighs in bedsheets. The songs on Pigeon are in deference to young adulthood, and serve as an acceptant embrace of past selves.
