Album Review: Sam Weston - Never Been In Love

Carley Hall

"Soundtrack the buzzing night life vibe with a dash of some urban feels."

More Sam Weston Sam Weston Profile

Producer Sam Weston brings his left-field house to the fore with this humble EP that saw the young Sydneysider escape the city for more rugged surrounds in South Australia.

The result is a succinct but impressive collection of tracks that still soundtrack the buzzing night life vibe with a dash of some urban feels. Never Been In Love (Part II) unites a constant offbeat with repetitive keys that ramp up the party vibe when the beat drops - it and its bedfellow (Part III) are addictive thanks to the considered layering and textures going on, before 13-minute closer Don't Save Face takes things into moodier, ambient territory.
