Sam Bambery
ON TOUR IN AUG/SEPT@underundergroundrecords
Sam Bambery is an artist and impresario from Ōtautahi/Christchurch, currently based in Naarm/Melbourne. Exploring his love of semi-psychedelia through a twisted folk-rock lens, Bambery writes effectual and spacious songs burrowing into emotional identity and exhaustion. His sophomore album Rubricator released in 2024 with micro-label Under Underground Records, edging at outsider-pop influence."Rubricator confirms the emergence of a real talent" - Graham Reid, NZ Listener"It’s all very considered, like Bambery lived with the album in his head for a while before bringing it into the world. A hint of mystery hangs over things too, which is only deepened by that title and his elaboration on it, in its way as ornate as these well-crafted tunes." - Tony Stamp, RNZ
