the samoors - P.i.a.F (Patience is a friend) - Indie Music Contest April 2020
"the samoors" debut single P.i.a.F on how two loving souls can heal together from broken childhoods while getting powers from the late Edith Piaf who the video is an homage for. The video filmed in Tarrytown, NY directed by Jessi Almstead and her somber puppets (made vegan and from cruelty-free materials). It's the first single and official video from the samoors upcoming EP "Verdure" of the Tel-Avivian live trio: Andie Simcha (keys), Erez Oppenheim (drums) and Yuval Simcha (guitar and vocals). As a band we're pursuing architectural simplicity in music without ornaments or virtuosity, using the life and live chemistry between all members, "crisscross ready to assist" rolls and timeless sounds for condensed issues.
