"Lastly, here's a wonderful, wicked new track from Sama Dams. I wrote about the release show of their innovative new album…but here's a chance to hear their remarkable, challenging new work for itself. At times "Pretty Ghosts" approaches a conventional indie-pop song, but listen to those staggering drumstick clicks, that drunk-funk bass synth devouring the entire bottom end, those eerie backing vocals that could possibly be the pretty ghosts of the title. It's all deliriously, deliberately off kilter. When you hear No Vengeance, you'll know that Sama Dams is no mere buzz band but a fierce, adventurous musical force to be reckoned with."

lyrics
Coming down a smile upon
Stuck up right - feed your stupid mouth
The dead in mind to bend at burial
Boarded up like a home that's waiting for a storm to break
Hurricane in blowing
Better instincts got us in their way
Our pavane will take us to the day
Pretty ghosts of animals
I could die, but I want to talk
You're coming down swinging a cache of scripts
Colored right in the dark
Her body's downy soft, her hands are cold
Cold and shaking
Suddenly I don't know who it's for
No one ever held open the door
Hell ya to And And And's songwriting, drummer Bim Ditson's post-punk mania and Berg Radin's swarm-of-bees guitar lines… there are few bands in PDX that get me this emotional involved. ♡ this band. Sama Dams
Andy played sax over Dirty Work and killed it over two other tracks that we've got in the vault. This release shows the depth of his great talents, and the shape of his unique musical mind. Aw yeah. Sama Dams
Smokey and moody with moments of intensity, any of these songs would not be out of place in an episode of Twin Peaks: The Return. One of my favorite albums of this year! Matthew
The songs on Kelly Reed’s latest are slyly self-deprecating, set to a backdrop of measured keys and guitar for maximum stateliness. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 16, 2023
The Australian instrumental band juxtapose classical pianos and ambient swells with uncompromising, proggy post-metal. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 9, 2023
