The comparisons are numerous but the consensus is obvious:
Samantha Crain's music is a lush and spellbinding combination of contradictions that somehow dwell in harmony.
The Samantha Crain & the Midnight Shivers' full-length debut, "Songs in the Night" excavates Crain's mature-yet-delicate, 22-year-old psyche. What it digs out is sooty, dappled with hope and sharply edged with undaunted courage.
Her lyrics reverberate with revolution, death, hope, honesty, resolution and escape. Her tunes are folky, boxcar-riding rhythms and warm, gaslight harmonies. Her poetic verses are transformed by accentuated vocals that skips confidently between ironic pop, soft folk and anxiety-laden indie rock.
Samantha Crain & the Midnight Shivers will perform Sept. 26, opening for the rootsy folk-rock powerhouse the Avett Brothers at Cain's Ballroom.
