Sam Higham Releases Debut Single ‘Tape Deck Mimic’
Sam Higham’s Tape Deck Mimic sounds like that feeling you get when you are completely underwater looking up to the surface, and then something brushes against your leg…
Tape Deck Mimic is the first release from Sam Higham’s new solo music project. This will be the first of two singles leading up to the release of his debut album Jam Fish.
This ambitious track features Higham performing all the instruments on the recording and is a perfect showcase of his multi-instrumental abilities.
Jam Fish will be available to stream November 10th
In an ongoing battle with the future, and a nostalgia for the past, Sam Higham’s music is familiar yet unpredictable.
Higham’s solo project was born in a dark damp flat, in the outer suburbs of Wellington, New Zealand, covering subjects of corruption, conversation, confusion, loss, purpose, and helplessness. Taking on the role of an entire band himself, the 26 year old plays all the instruments featured on his upcoming debut album Jam Fish set to release late 2023.
Sam Higham first made a name for himself in Wellington’s music scene as the drummer/keyboardist for alt rock band Pale Lady. After forming in 2016 the band released two well received EP’s and a collection of singles. In 2017 the band succeeded in winning NZ’s Battle of the Bands competition, leading to an international tour through Australia, Singapore, Hong Kong, and the Philippines.
Higham briefly featured on keyboards and guitar as a live performing member of pop-rock band SKRAM in early 2023. He also was a performer/session musician for solo artist Konarucchi, a featured artist on Sam Higham’s upcoming album Jam Fish.
