Sampha--the man who has provided the human vocal element on many a haunting okayfuture jam from SBTRKT--steps more fully into a spotlight all his own today with the release of his new EP Dual. We got our first taste of the new release a few weeks ago with the appearance of "Without"--a glitchy, melancholy jam that sounds like the perfect balance of FlyLo's off-kilter electronics and Toro y Moi's dreaminess, all held together with the emotive voice of a Seal-type soul singer. Nestled amongst the other 5 tracks on the EP is a rework of his track "Indecision"--which also got the live-in-session treatment on this webisode from Yours Truly. Sampha sets up the stripped down piano rendition of the ballad with an interview segment, diving into the possibilities for procrastination opened up by making music and the feeling he got from playing the black keys on the piano as a child. Watch that session unfold int he video clip below and compare the today-version of "Indecision" with the year-ago version of "Indecision" via the soundcloud player at bottom. And then go purchase Dual via iTunes.
