✍ New Single - LA Priest - Beginning

LA Priest – aka Sam Eastgate – deelt vandaag de video voor nieuwe single ‘Beginning’ die gisteren bij Annie Mac op BBC Radio 1 in première ging.

 ‘Beginning’ is het tweede nummer van komende album GENE die op 5 juni verschijnt op Domino Records.
GENE, is de naam van zijn nieuwe analoge drummachine die Sam zelf heeft gemaakt.

 “Accompanying the track is the quite frankly cosmic video, directed by Isaac Eastgate, in which we see LA Priest in his most nomadic, almost shamanic state wandering the wilderness of North Wales with a  7ft flying V guitar.”

GENE arrives four years after the iconoclast variously known as Sam Eastgate, Sam Dust and LA Priest thrilled the world with the cosmic pop of his debut album Inji, his first LP for Domino and his first solo output following the disbanding of former outfit, Late Of The Pier. GENE also follows the 2016 project Soft Hair in which Sam teamed up with Connan Mockasin for an instant cult-classic album.

GENE, the album, is named after a brand-new analogue drum machine Sam dreamt up and built alone. Working in isolation for more than two years in California, Wales and England’s south coast, soldering iron in hand, Sam developed the inners of GENE using dozens of electrical circuits he made up himself. The creation came after a search for an alternative to the structure and rigor of standard drum machines. Its unique rhythmic patterns are the focal point for the album, which is coloured by lush, pastoral tones, paired with the influence of his environmental changes.


GENE was produced alongside London based artist, producer, DJ and founder of Phantasy Sounds records, Erol Alkan.
