Sam Cohen is where music is heading, or should be. It\u2019s a softer touch on rock, almost a folk approach, but with electronic, synth-laced backing.<\/p>\n<p>This album grips you and relieves you of all inhibitions. It allows you to space out. And yet there&#8217;s no definite description due to the differentiation from song to song.<\/p>\n<p>In Unconditional Love (4) the vocals drag the instrumental along in a slow serenade. You catch a little bit of influence from The Beatles on Last Dream (6). Don&#8217;t Shoot The Messenger (5) is reminiscent of Father John Misty with a tweak. And, The Garden (3), Let The Mountain Come To You (1) and a few others personally give off the aforementioned Mac Demarco vibe.<\/p>\n<p>There is a lot of musical experimentation packed into this album. It can surely provide for quite a few different musical tastes. So let Sam Cohen spin in player and do some exploring, just don&#8217;t get too lost in it.<br \/>\n<b><br \/>\nRecommended If You Like: Mac Demarco, Pond, Tame Impala, Foxygen, White Fence, Grizzly Bear<br \/>\nRecommended Tracks: 1 (Let The Mountain Come To You), 5 (Don&#8217;t Shoot The Messenger), 3 (The Garden), 6 (Last Dream), 9 (Midnight Conqueror)<br \/>\nDo Not Play: 10 (Unconditional Love)<br \/>\nWritten by Colin Smith on 05\/01\/2015 <\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The fusion of idealistic vocals and Tame Impala-esque psychadelic, relaxed rock.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1645,"featured_media":34079,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[181],"tags":[3075,3074],"class_list":["post-34078","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-rock-rotation","tag-cool-it","tag-sam-cohen"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Sam_opt.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34078","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1645"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=34078"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34078\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/34079"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=34078"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=34078"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=34078"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
