The melodic elements of Sam Slater‘s “Gold Held Over (for Al Summers)” play like a something coming out of a music box—delicate, plinked, and unsteady. Slater works primarily with field recordings, embedding every sound with distinct location and meaning. It’s a powerful mode of communication made even stronger by the song’s accompanying notes, available underneath the stream on SoundCloud.
