Paralanguage Will Samson

'Paralanguage' is Will Samson's fifth album and follows releases

through Karaoke Kalk (Hauschka, Bill Wells) and Talitres (Destroyer),

as well as a string of EPs and collaborative projects.

The album features contributions from additional musicians including

pedal steel and double bass from Ben Lester & Jeremy Boettcher from

S. Carey (Ben also performed on Sufjan Stevens' album, Carrie &

Lowell), electronics from Message To Bears and violin from Will

Samson's long-term touring partner Beatrijs De Klerck, who has

previously performed with A Winged Victory For The Sullen and

Christina Vantzou.

Will describes the songs on 'Paralanguage' as being "largely inspired

by dreams & meditative experiences (including floatation tanks, cold

water swimming and a summer day spent in nature with a gentle dose

of psilocybin truffles)." Alongside digital recording, Will used tape

machines dating between 1970's - 90's found in flea markets and

charity shops to make the album. "Some cassettes were soaked

overnight in water and then dried out, to decay the more atmospheric

sounds."

Will has previously toured with Kurt Vile, King Creosote, The Album

Leaf, Marisa Nadler, Shearwater, S. Carey & played shows with Olafur

Arnalds, Do Make Say Think, Laura Gibson, Timber Timbre + many

more.
