Looking through the glass Everything moves at it’s own pace So hard to place Spent is spent, friend Tackled in the snow See colors, distant hues I pose, I pose It’s pouring, really coming down – feel full Really coming down – feel full Paint dripping from the walls We can’t understand Gliffs and Clementines So far to space Bent and not said And I pose, I pose Tackled in the snow See colors, distant hues I pose, I pose It’s pouring, the old man is snoring

about

Looking Through the Glass is Sam Genualdi’s debut record, and is a testament to his insatiable musical curiosity. Featuring percussionist and frequent Bon Iver collaborater, Jon Mueller as well as experimental saxophone giant Tim Berne, Sam has created a piece that is as beautiful as it is fleeting. With moments both tranquil and contentious, the album is something of a diary entry for this moment in his life. Literally about to embark on a journey around the world enabled by a 2017 Watson Fellowship, it will certainly be interesting to see how his musical identity grows and changes over the coming months and years.
