PopMatters Premieres "Breathe", the New Video from Harp Samuels

Melbourne-based singer/songwriter, Harp Samuels, has delivered an ambient folk treat with his new album, Breathe. To accompany the release, PopMatters has premiered the music video for the title track, "Breathe". Click here to watch the full video, and read below for some of the highlights. 

Samuels takes a simplistic, yet powerful approach visually in the video, when underneath, the music sorts through the chaos of life. 

"Featuring a broad stroke of autumnal colors and landscapes, the audiovisual performance put on by Samuels embraces a rawness and a sincerity in him that evokes a sense of bittersweet beauty." - Jonathan Frahm

The song, written in memory of his late mother and father, is highly evocative and therapeutic for those in times of grief. 

"The Australian singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist values the creation of subtle, empathetic ambiance in his work, intrinsically tapping into a visceral, vulnerable place in his lyricism, but also in the individualistic qualities of his performance."
