Will Samson has made a welcome return in 2022 with ‘Arpy’, a dreamy, ambient piece that comes alongside a scenic and inventive video shot on film. Over the piece’s six-minute running time, he takes us on a journey through a variety of soft synth timbres and luscious soundscapes, supported by gently rattling percussion. “The recordings sat on a hard drive for about 7 months, while I racked my brains on how on earth to finish it,” he says. “It was after having 3 vivid and consecutive dreams that Summer (whilst trying to teach myself how to lucid dream), when I woke up and realised that the lyrics and vocals had just written themselves.” His upcoming album, Active Imagination, will be released on May 6^th, 2022. -Dan Peeke
