Sometimes it’s terribly hard to explain with words what and why a song makes you think or feel. Especially when we’re talking about a band so fresh and new that no music critic has yet had enough time for constraining them with silly labels. Yet.

.
So we don’t really know why, but the angelical zombie Samuel and his human dragon make us move. Samuel & the Dragon have something truly special: maybe the singer’s ripped voice, the gentleness of their electronic melodies, the good use of the silences, the scenography, the visuals and the magic atmosphere they create on stage; lights off as if we were attending a classic cinema projection. Maybe the secret of all that sum of pop beauty is a careful mix of all these  ingredients. A wicked magic formula that makes us have butterflies in the stomach. And that symptom never fails.

Listen to them to understand it.
