Details

Following a prolific stint of creativity, Sam Beste, aka The Vernon Spring, is set to release his cathartic debut album “A Plane Over Woods”. Made in the light of losing his father in 2019, and completed during the first COVID-19 lockdown, the album explores new territory for The Vernon Spring, incorporating subtle electronic textures of voices, samples and vinyl crackle loops into his already established beautifully restrained muted piano sound-world. Perhaps best known as a member of alt-soul trio Hejira, Beste’s work as a producer, performer and composer covers a multitude of styles and roles. He has worked with Amy Winehouse, Kano, Kindness, Blood Orange and many more, produced virtuosic London string duo Fran & Flora and sat in as a hang player for Portico Quartet. He has released music on Matthew Herbert’s label Accidental Records, composed for film and was commissioned by BBC Radio 3’s Nick Luscombe for original work. Curated with Hejira, his TRAUM events in central London attracted performances from Micachu & The Shapes, The Invisible, Kwabs, Oliver Coates, Gwilym Gold, Eska and more. Despite his young age, Sam’s musical CV rivals many seasoned pros’.With “A Plane Over Woods” he makes his first declarative long-form statement as a solo artist.
