Raised on Australia’s east coast and calling the Sunshine Coast home, Samuel Fairbank's youthful storytelling is slowly etching a place for him in the world of Australian songwriters. For anyone who has ever been and gone in love, Samuel's sophomore EP ‘freckles’ speaks. Aloneness, euphoria, heartache, learning to forget, the latitude of young love’s feelings are poured out across five boyishly honest tracks. Recorded with Garrett Kato near Byron Bay between 2020 and 2022, it grows from Sam’s debut EP ‘Growing Out of You’ (2017) with textures and meanings that deepen his stance as a story-teller and blossoming indie singer-songwriter. Outside of music, Sam is a photographer (samuelfairbank.com), uncle, and ocean-lover.
