Debut singles can be tough. For many artists, it takes a while to settle on a concrete sound, and therefore, debut releases often lack conviction. Wollongong based singer-songwriter Sam Allen, however, does not suffer from this issue.
With the release of his debut single Barricade, Allen has immediately established his penchant for crafting emotive and endearing indie-rock gems. We’re stoked to be premiering it for you today.
On his debut single Barricade, Wollongong based artist Sam Allen delivers an impactful and endearing slice of soulful indie-rock.
Throughout the new single, Allen glides through a heartfelt blend of indie-rock, folk, and soul to craft a sound uniquely his own. He weaves together rich instrumentation and spirited vocal delivery to build an immersive sound that will blanket your body.
Over the course of its five-minute duration, Barricade simmers and builds into a catharsis of captivating sonic textures. By the time the track reaches its conclusion, you’ll have been roped in completely to Allen’s indie-rock sounds.
