Sam Lee releases his fourth studio album, "songdreaming". The follow up to 2020"s "Old Wow", an album variously described as "A dazzling fusion of nature and song" (The Observer) and a "sublime album that demands to be heard in the 21st century" (The Daily Telegraph) amidst a host of critical acclaim, "songdreaming" was recorded throughout 2023. The album sees Sam continue his work with producer Bernard Butler and long-term collaborator, arranger, and composer James Keay in creating an album rich in musicality and invention. "songdreaming" may be built on the backbone of double bass, percussion, and violin but is infused with a world of instrumentation including the Arabic Qanun, Swedish Nyckelharpa, small pipes, and more. Across the ten tracks, Sam delivers an album that ranges from more immediately identifiable acoustic songs to drone soundscapes through to the electric guitar and gospel choir propelled lead single, "Meeting Is A Pleasant Place", featuring the recording debut of Trans Voices, a London based transgender choir.
