-
‘Dear
Departed’,
the
second
album
from
Sam
Burton,
arose
from
a
time
of
rebirth.
In
the
last
few
years,
Burton
basically
started
over.
There’s
a
freedom
in
leaving
everything
behind,
and
Burton
embarked
on
a
wandering
phase.
He
went
and
stayed
at
a
friends’
family
home
in
a
rural
region
further
north
in
California,
where
he
holed
up
in
a
cabin
and
helped
the
grandmother
farm
to
earn
his
keep.
He
crashed
with
friends
all
around
Los
Angeles,
until
he
found
himself
a
new
gig
and
a
new
apartment
of
his
own.
Along
the
way,
he
was
writing
songs.
‘Dear
Departed’
was
produced
by
Jonathan
Wilson
(Angel
Olsen,
Father
John
Misty,
Margo
Price),
and
recorded
at
Wilson’s
Topanga
Canyon
studio
with
some
of
the
best
studio
players
in
LA.
From
the
production
to
the
performances
to
Burton’s
core
compositions,
there’s
a
timelessness
across
its
ten
songs.
Together
with
Wilson,
Burton
is
able
to
achieve
a
sound
that
never
descends
into
retro
pastiche,
but
rather
becomes
an
evocative
echo,
a
dream
of
the
past.
Like
Sam
and
his
band
are
crammed
onto
the
corner
stage
of
a
smoke-filled
bar
in
a
long-lost
time.
Recalling
a
modern
day
Campbell,
Orbison,
or
Nilsson,
the
album
showcases
Burton’s
inherent
knack
for
mining
pure
Laurel
Canyon
AM
gold.
In
scope,
the
music
finds
Burton
using
a
far
bigger
canvas
than
on
his
acclaimed
2020
debut,
‘I
Can
Go
With
You’,
giving
the
emotions
therein
a
new
sense
of
urgency
and
intensity.
