Dear Departed (LP)
Sam Burton
Amoeba Review
Sam Burton's Dear Departed drifts from your stereo like some long-lost Laurel Canyon folk gem. With production by Topanga Canyon's Jonathan Wilson (Angel Olsen, Father John Misty, Margo Price), the album is lush, romantic, and transportive, the aural equivalent of golden fields of wheat waving in the summer breeze or late afternoon sunshine piercing gently through the trees. The tracks unwind languidly, with contemplative fingerpicked guitar and dreamy strings. Burton's voice balances wistfulness with solidity; the tracks' melancholy beauty underpinned by assurance. Dear Departed will make you wish it was the '70s again.
