about

Recorded by Nick Neihart, who also played on the album

The latest from Sam Burton, who you might remember as one of the musicians who came out of the Spy Hop label a few years back. He's back and working with Chthonic Records to release this five-track EP titled Herd Behavior. The EP has been described by the label as “gut-wrecnhing beautiful songs,' which is a pretty fitting title as these are about as bare-boned and honest as you can get. Most of them are simply Burton with a guitar, perhaps with a little bass and harmonic to dress it up on occasion. A really nice departure from his prior works, and a fitting kind of album for the season. It may just be an EP, but this is a must-have for the year.

Nothing Touches Me
by Sam Burton

supported by 5 fans who also own “Herd Behavior”

Sam Burton writes some of the most sweetly haunting tunes. Many of which sound like they were written in a classic late 70s era, with a current sheen but have not seen the light of day until now, and he seems to be wholly underrated, which I hope will change. This 7" on Tompkins Square has a few of his slightly older songs newly recorded and produced in a polished but perfect manner which are so pure, and so dang good. Also Kacey Johansing sings along with Sam and it is magic. Get this! Joe Borreson

Music For 18 Magicians

Tacoma's Karass whittled these bleak dream-pop gems from free-form jams, and the rhythms that rattle through them have a live energy. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 24, 2021

Entire album is excellent. As is the rest of the catalog. Go back to 1970...take the Dead and Floyd and roll them up. Yet completely different. Just plain old GOOD MUSIC. Ed Fransko
