New York-based singer/songwriter Sam Evian has signed to Oxford, Mississippi-based label Fat Possum Records, marking the occasion with a new single/video, “Easy to Love.” Written and recorded in lockdown after Evian and his partner Hannah Cohen ditched New York City to seek seclusion (and recording sessions) upstate, the song is “the first taste” of “that period of creativity,” wink wink, nudge nudge. The track is aptly titled, an ebullient jam about opting out of the rat race to find peace and fulfillment in nature. Evian’s falsetto vocals and roaring guitars get taken up a notch by Jon Natchez’s (The War On Drugs) baritone sax and Raymond Mason’s trumpet—their celebratory horns amplify the song’s explosion of positive emotion, which resonates particularly well right now as the light at the end of the pandemic tunnel slowly, steadily grows brighter.
