SAM MORTON

In 2020, Richard Russell happened to be listening to Samantha Morton's BBC Radio 4 show "Desert Island Discs" (a show where guests select the music they would take to a desert island), and was amazed by the quality of her song selection. He contacted her to try making music together, and this was the first album under the name of Sam Morton, 2024. The world view is similar to that of PORTISHEAD ~ KNIFE ~ DAVID LYNCH, and there is a strange street feel beyond that. It features ALABASTER DEPLUME, LAURA GROVES, who has also released albums under the name BLUE ROSES on XL Recordings, JACK PENATE, who also supported the label in the late 2000s and is now active as a producer, and UB40's Ali Campbell participates.
