Samia releases new single “Lizard”

Samia has returned with new single “Lizard,” the track is off the artist’s forthcoming album Bloodless, available, this April 25th via Grand Jury. Samia explains: “It’s painful to stay present, to exist as a real, flesh-and-blood person at a party, after existing comfortably as a myth or a memory. And it was even more painful to try not to ruin a party I’d already ruined.”
Along with the arrival of the new track, Samia also announces a North American tour today. General on-sale begins on February 21st at 10am locally
Bloodless recorded in North Carolina and her new home of Minneapolis, with longtime collaborators co-producers Caleb Wright and Jake Luppen, as well as frequent songwriting partners Christian Lee Hutson and Raffaela.
“It’s easier to be what someone wants you to be if you give as little as possible,” says Samia. With Bloodless, she seeks comfort in absence, and explores the allure of existing as fantasy. Drawing inspiration from unsolved mysteries – inexplicable cattle mutilations, the presence of God, the impossibility of femininity – Samia examines how shadows can loom larger than their source. “I noticed a pattern in my life of wanting to live up to the person I became in someone’s head; you become a lot bigger with distance.”
