I SEE THE SIGN:

download "how come that blood" here



"Amidon has one of the most inviting voices around today.In bridging the very old and the very new on a handful of albums and collaborations, he has managed to meld the rural and the urban, the organic and the synthetic, the oral tradition and the written score." -Pitchfork



"Beth Orton appears on Mr. Amidon’s excellent forthcoming album, “I See the Sign,” and their pairing makes sense: as she once did, he’s trying to see how rawboned, lonely-voiced traditional folk can be updated for city life. There’s no doubt that he has listened hard and widely: at times he sounds in search of the places where Dock Boggs and Arthur Russell connect."-New York Times



ALL IS WELL - Released February 2008



10 folksongs. Out now on Bedroom Community. "All Is Well" was produced/engineered by Valgeir Sigurdsson, w/musical wonders by Nico Muhly and contributions from Eyvind Kang, Stefan Amidon, Aaron Siegel, Eyvind Kang.



"An album of fragile, spooky loveiness."

-Entertainment Weekly



"In an era of overheated Nick Drake comparisons, Amidon is eerily close to the real thing."

Rolling Stone

"Amidon doesn't just update the old world to the new, but finds the roots of the new world in the old."-Pitchfork



"Young Sam has a talent for reinterpreting traditional folk standards, and in the hands of the ever-empathetic Valgeir Sigurdsson and his bedroom community, he's produced a work bordering on the timeless."-David Sylvian



"Nothing less than a goose-bump-manufacturing sonic piéce de résistance."



-CMJ New Music Monthly



"Amidon makes mistakes, lots of them."Grapevine (Reykjavik)



"Letting your retarded friend open a show for you is either a benevolent act of charity, or a shrewd ploy to lower audience expectations; either way, after Sam Amidon’s support set that consisted of tuneless, banjo-accompanied sea shanties, each interrupted by nonsensical monologues and culminating with a break-dancing finale, any performance Jolie Holland had churned out would have been greeted with warm enthusiasm by the audience at Ruby Lounge, Manchester." -David Harfield

“Sky-scrapingly great . All Is Well is viscerally stunning, comforting, upsetting, entrancing."

-Stylus
