Sam & Julia - Something Somewhere

In a sweltering attic room in Amsterdam, Sam & Julia wrote their debut album in one summer; Something Somewhere. With a pile of tragicomic stories, a guitar and two voices that seem made for each other, they started to forge songs from memories. From Sam's panic attack at the zoo from Prague to the countless boring dates of Julia. Something Somewhere is a story record par excellence. Sam & Julia, strengthened by their band, show a new sound. Americana on the edge of indie. Somewhere between the sobriety of Wilco and the melancholy by Phoebe Bridgers.

Sam (23) & Julia (26) met five years ago. With their striking voices and idiosyncratic songs, they complement each other perfectly. The first EP, So Far, So Good (2019), was released on Tim Knol's I Love My Label and immediately put Sam & Julia on the map.

Despite the smooth writing process, it still took almost two years before Something Somewhere saw the light of day. Sam & Julia met each other several times in the Wisseloord Studios.

Something Somewhere is definitely not just anything, just anywhere. The album is a benchmark in the lives of Sam & Julia. A candid coming of age story of a duo, that matures both musically and lyrically through trial and error.
