Samia continues to tease her upcoming album Bloodless, which is set to arrive on April 25 via Grand Jury Music. Out now are new singles “Hole in a Frame” and “Pants,” the latter of which arrives alongside a visualizer starring actor Fred Hechinger—who you may know from the first season of White Lotus, the upcoming Pavement pseudo-biopic Pavements, or from the video for Samia’s 2019 cover of Liz Phair’s “Never Said.”
“Hole in a Frame” is a pleasant folk-pop track equal parts intimate and enchanting. Samia sings of Tulsa, Oklahoma and drywall that cracks like an autograph. “Pants,” the album closer, is a buzzing anthem that slowly builds into a shape-shifting odyssey incorporating a number of different styles. “I paired these tracks because they capture opposite instincts,” Samia explained of the dual release. “‘Hole in a Frame’ is about a fascination with disappearing and the power of absence. ‘Pants’ is about accepting a non-refundable self, social contexts and all. They move from a comfort in the possibilities of emptiness to the reality of existence.”
