Sam Burchfield releases “Morning Light,” the track is off his forthcoming new album Nature Speaks available October 24 via Cloverdale Records. Nature Speaks was recorded in just five days at Studio 1093 in Athens, Georgia with co-producers and collaborators Ryan Plumley and Jason Kingsland (Delta Spirit, Deerhunter).

“Just before we recorded, I was in New York City on tour,” Burchfield shares. “My wife was at home, pregnant with our second child. I was taking a walk through Washington Square Park, feeling this hyper-vivid awareness of the beauty of the city, and at the same time, this intense pain of being away from my family.” Just then, a man sitting at a public space piano began playing the song Burchfield’s partner walked down the aisle to at their wedding. Coincidence or cosmic wink, it stirred Burchfield’s soul. “It felt like walking through a portal.”

For Burchfield, like many of us, it took a moment of poignant distance to illuminate his place of utmost belonging—back in the Blue Ridge Mountains, among his family. And with that radical clarity came a revitalized artistic confidence, a turning point in accepting and trusting his own musical intuition, the intuition from which Nature Speaks beautifully emerges.

“Morning Light” follows recent singles “Spirit of the Night,” “Stay (Betty Blue)” and “Holiday.” Sam Burchfield has played shows with CAAMP, St. Paul & The Broken Bones, David Shaw of The Revivalists and more.
