Swinging Jaw: The Samps
The Samps‘ super-fidelity, submarine flinch-funk sounds like it was made by a team of professional stoners: athletically pumped and hi-res, but full of thoughts and ideas that survive only a few seconds before bursting like champagne bubbles at a late summer gang wedding. The Samps are a Californian band that run with a few other Californian bands. Cole MGN plays guitar with Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti and is shacked up with Ramona Gonzalez, better known to you perhaps as Nite Jewel. Jason Whitemare runs a label. Harley plays drums more angrily with Dimesland and Wild Hunt and more calmly with Stan Hubbs. You should give The Samps your money and your love.
Read our interview with The Samps’ Cole MGN at the Viceland Music Blog.
