The eponymous SASAMI has been touring in different forms since before her breakout solo debut on Domino Record co. in 2019. Whether performing with a long-haired metal band in tow or stunning huge support tours with her theatrical new pop-leaning set, SASAMI‘s ability to captivate diverse audiences has earned her coveted opening slots for acts like HAIM, Mitski, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs.
After Sasami graduated from the Eastman School of Music in 2012, she scored and made orchestral arrangements for films, commercials and studio albums, and worked as a music teacher in Los Angeles, where she is currently based and makes music. In 2015, she joined the American rock band Cherry Glazerr with whom she played synths and toured for two and a half years before announcing her departure in January 2018 to pursue her solo musical career.
Squeeze, the second full length from Sasami, surveys the raw aggression of nu-metal, tender plainspokenness of country-pop and folk rock, and dramatic romanticism of classical music. Always shapeshifting and experimenting with genre and style, we can expect a bolder and dancier display for SASAMI’s follow-up to her raucous 2022 album SQUEEZE. Classically trained on french horn, SASAMI has been long developing her sound and reputation as a respected musical polymath of songwriting, performance and production. From receiving Pitchfork’s “best new track” to her feature in TapeOp magazine highlighting her production capabilities, SASAMI proves to be a force in music and one to watch as she shifts into even newer and more surprising forms.
