Samuel charges through Dead Melodies\u2019 title track with carefree vigour, riding the song\u2019s adrenalized motorik rhythm toward a joyous, anthemic chorus that wields its title as a badge of stubborn defiance rather than defeat.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- Random Ad stuff --><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display: block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-2076862002005673\" data-ad-slot=\"3107208401\" data-ad-format=\"auto\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cWhen I wrote the song, it was a couple of years after I had finished making a record that nobody listened to,\u201d Jon explains. \u201cI just wanted to write a song about how art and music are undervalued &#8211; it\u2019s literally worth nothing in a lot of cases. You make a record, spend a lot of time and money on it\u2026and then it\u2019s basically just free. And disposable, too, because there\u2019s just so much of it. So that was the basic idea of \u2018Dead Melodies\u2019 &#8211; I\u2019m going to put this out there, and maybe nobody hears it, and it might be worth nothing!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Dead Melodies is a much more collaborative effort than his 2012 debut, &#8216;First Transmissions&#8217;, with Samuel and his producer &#8211; Wintersleep drummer Loel Campbell &#8211; corralling a guest list that includes fellow Wintersleeper Tim D\u2019Eon and Halifax roots-rock hero Matt Mays on guitars, Chris Seligman of Stars on French horn, and Keith Doiron of Walrus on bass.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Whether through its adventurous musical eclecticism, emboldened songwriting process, or its willingness to wade into difficult subject matter, this album is Jon\u2019s pledge to do better\u2014both as an artist and as a human being. And by inspiring you to do the same, Dead Melodies takes on a life of its own.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span id=\"m_4838325770931231077docs-internal-guid-df17d847-7fff-e95a-3034-ec4cef42ba77\">Find Jon Samuel online on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/jonsamuelmusic\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/centurysamuel\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Instagram<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/artist\/2s5WQruVFYdDC5DY7VViDE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Spotify<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"02 Dead Melodies by Hidden Pony Records &amp; Management\" width=\"640\" height=\"400\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?visual=true&#038;url=https%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F451976133&#038;show_artwork=true&#038;maxheight=960&#038;maxwidth=640\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wintersleep keyboardist, Jon Samuel, has announced his forthcoming solo record, &#8216;Dead Melodies&#8217; \u2013 slated for release on February 1, 2019 via Hidden Pony Records\/Believe Digital.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":41966,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"jetpack_seo_schema_type":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[9],"tags":[17497,17495,17498,17496,17494,144,77,370,2552,17499],"class_list":["post-41964","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-new-releases","tag-believe-digital","tag-dead-melodies","tag-first-transmissions","tag-hidden-pony-records","tag-jon-samuel","tag-new-album","tag-new-release","tag-new-single","tag-title-track","tag-wintersleep"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p5yMhl-aUQ","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":32527,"url":"https:\/\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/2018\/01\/percival-elliott-forever\/","url_meta":{"origin":41964,"position":0},"title":"Percival Elliott &#8211; &#8216;Forever&#8217;","author":"Lisa Hafey","date":"21\/01\/2018","format":false,"excerpt":"Indie-rock duo Percival Elliott are from the south coast of England, and comprise Olly Hite and Samuel Carter-Brazier.
