History

In 2016, Sam Evian signed with Saddle Creek Records.[2] Sam Evian's music has been described as indie rock, "crunchy country," and "70s-tinged psychedelic soft rock."[3] He released his debut album Premium in 2016.[4] The album's lead single, "I Need A Man," was premiered by Stereogum.[5]

In 2018, Evian released his sophomore album You, Forever.[6] Kazu Makino of Blonde Redhead contributed to the album's song "Next To You."[7][8] The song "Health Machine" was released as a single and music video.[9][10][11][12] Another single, entitled "IDGAF," was premiered by Stereogum.[13] In the Pitchfork review of You, Forever, Allison Hussey wrote that Evian "offers rock songs about vulnerability and desire that are gentle and sweet but avoid the most saccharine tendencies of soft rock."[14] Digital Trends included You, Forever in their list of the best albums of 2018.[15]
