Under a Familiar Sun / The Vernon Spring

"Under a Familiar Sun" LP (2025) by The Vernon Spring.

Sam Beste has crafted this album as both an "intimate exploration of domesticity" and a "broader meditation on responsibility in these uncertain times." Veering between themes of the intimate and the universal, the album constructs a sonic space where intersecting realities resonate far beyond the music itself. It showcases an artist exploring new sonic possibilities while fusing personal devotion with moral consciousness, resulting in a profound work that resonates in a shimmering new light of perception.
 
"This album is a love letter to the nuclear family. I'm also asking how that love relates to the wider world. Art doesn't have to be political to transcend politics. This is a record full of hope" (The Vernon Spring).
