With their brand of weather-beaten ballads and rain-drenched pop, the 10-track album bleeds with gentle significance, full of power and sentimentality. Featuring a powerhouse of female accompanists in Lucy Rose (UK), Julia Stone (AU), Nadia Reid (NZ), MARO (PT), Aoife   O'Donovan (US), Rosie   Carney (IE), Ainslie Wills (AU), Amanda Bergman (SE), Lydia Cole (NZ) and Gena Rose Bruce (AU), Roses is the first collaborative release from  the  band. "I  had  written  these  songs  and  had  always  wanted  to  do  an  album  like  this,  but  I remember almost  scrapping  the  whole  project  because  it  felt  too  hard.  It  was  about  finding  the right voices for the songs -artists that couldn't just sing but had something deep and moving in the way they sang -and that's not every singer- it's rare." Sam explains.

Produced by Sam Bentley & Tom Iansek (#1 Dads, Big Scary)- Roses is a testament to sincere, patient, and understated songwriting. A deeply moving collection of songs, helmed by a cherished selection of artists.
