Chaos & Solitude by Sam Slatcher

In May 2020, Sam released 'Chaos & Solitude', a personal and political reflection on the recent changes in Western society, from the last few years of political division, to record-breaking transatlantic storms, to songs sung from balconies amidst a growing pandemic. But should that all sound a little overwhelming, Chaos & Solitude invites you to reconnect with nature, discover the calm in one’s breath, and find the kindness in strangers in our midst.

"This is music for curling up with on the sofa on a rainy day, with a hot drink - and just soaking up the warmth and brightness that it exudes. Sam has made something very beautiful, that uses soft thoughtful tones to deliver a powerful overall message. Anger and frustration are transmuted into kindness and reassurance and hope. It's a lovely, perceptive, thoughtful and thought-provoking piece of work and a very promising debut solo album from a skillful and original songwriter and musician" (FATEA Magazine)
