LA Priest's Sam Eastgate on Blending Electronic Music with Nature

In a conversation with kulturnews.de, Sam Eastgate, recognized for his work as LA Priest and his previous involvement with Late Of The Pier, shares insights about his latest album "Into the Sky." He merges electronic sounds with deeply humanistic lyrics, striving for more accessible vocal expressions. Eastgate envisions performing in natural settings like forests or mountains, alongside touring urban centers such as Paris, Berlin, and London. His lyrics tackle the current apocalyptic climate with a blend of humor and optimism. During the lockdown, he delved into sample-based music, drawing inspiration from Daft Punk and classic hip-hop, which led to innovations with his custom drum machines. While some tracks harken back to his Late Of The Pier days, he intends to delay a metal album rather than abandon it.
