Product Description
Anais Nin said, Each contact with a human being is so rare, so precious, one should preserve it. That suggestion was the muse impelling the conception of Samantha Crain s second LP, You (Understood). Each song on this album rests on a juncture with a person, a real person, and it recounts a particular episode of life with that person.
For a project that engages in so much dissection, Crain solicited Joey Lemon, producer of her Confiscation EP and guru of the Midwestern avant-garde band Berry to help her glue it all back together. They, along with Eric Nauni (Student Film) and Ben Wigler (Arizona, New Beard), recorded the eleven songs in 7 days at Lemon s studio in a white pole barn on the north side of Wichita, KS. Feeling the importance of giving each of these songs a sound as customized as the experiences and the people themselves, Crain reached out for different tools than on the country-tinged Songs In the Night LP. The guitars got fuzzier, the time signatures got modified, the drums got audacious, the spaces got bigger, the highs were higher, and the lows were lower. There are 16 people that affected her through the writing and recording of these songs, You (Understood) is her monument to those sporadic and revered chapters.

 Artzy voices August 21, 2010
Artzy (Alabama, USA)
I heard Samantha Crain's interview on NPR and loved her story. Her sound is totally different from pop. There's so much art in her voice and in her guitar playing. My favorite song is Equinox. I've painted a picture in my mind with the words of the song and plan to put it on canvas. There are only a couple of songs on this album that get a bit instrumentally out of control. All of the other songs are songs that you don't mind having stuck in your head all day. No regrets with this purchase. Samantha is an awesome artist and I hope she goes far with her talent.

I remember reading an interview about Bob Dylan complaining about the lack of worthwhile music coming from recent generations. I thought he was wrong on many accounts, but generally I had some affinity for what he was said. I believe this album, and this artist, stand at the forefront of a whole bunch of nice stuff coming our way. Bob Dylan, are you listening?

Incredible voice with a rocker folk vibe that you have to become obsessed with. An incredibly intimate and defining album that is just plain solid from all aspects.
