Sam Buckingham

🎵𝗤𝘂𝗶𝗲𝘁 𝗥𝗲𝘃𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗧𝗼𝘂𝗿🎶

Three years after releasing her career defining album 𝗗𝗘𝗔𝗥 𝗝𝗢𝗛𝗡, and only seven months after the follow up, 𝗖𝘆𝗰𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗲, Sam Buckingham returns with her most raw and revealing work yet.

𝗤𝘂𝗶𝗲𝘁 𝗥𝗲𝘃𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 explores Buckingham’s process of reassessing her life and drastically shifting priorities.

“I turned 40 and started counting up the time I’d spent trying to be someone that I’m not, and create success by other peoples measures” Buckingham reflects. “All of a sudden I understood what that had cost me, and I knew that I didn’t want to spend the next 40 years of my life doing the same thing”.

The EP’s hook-heavy title track invites a life with more space to breathe. While the pensive 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗺𝗼𝗹 drives the point home when Buckingham sings “more importantly I let go of the need to please people who wouldn’t even grieve if I were dead”.

𝗡𝘂𝗰𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗣𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 rejects the rat race and embraces radical boundary setting, while 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗨𝗻𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗲 boldly claims “rebellion as an antidote to depression” which, really, is the entire point of the EP.

Buckingham describes a quiet revolution as “a powerful, internal process that completely shifts the course of your life. You’re challenging your internal beliefs and patterns every day. Doing the unglamorous work to build a better life for yourself - on your own terms. I see it as an important act of self love and selflessness. The ripple effect of one person truly empowering herself is huge”.

Buckingham’s unique sensibility for marrying poetry with pop shines in this stunning collection. Drawing influences from Laura Marling, Ani DiFranco and Joni Mitchell.

Recorded during a late night studio session with ARIA winning engineer & producer Paul Pilsneniks, the four track EP is as stripped back as you can get - each song was recorded in one take, with nothing but Buckingham on acoustic guitar and vocals.

The 𝗤𝘂𝗶𝗲𝘁 𝗥𝗲𝘃𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 tour embraces this raw approach. With Buckingham performing songs from the new EP and playing favourites from her acclaimed releases 𝗗𝗘𝗔𝗥 𝗝𝗢𝗛𝗡 and 𝗖𝘆𝗰𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗲 in sit-down acoustic mode.

Buckingham has played main stages at Woodford and Queenscliff Music Festivals, toured with the Festival of Small Halls, and packed out a combined 40 dates while touring 𝗗𝗘𝗔𝗥 𝗝𝗢𝗛𝗡 and 𝗖𝘆𝗰𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗲.

She’s also toured alongside Kate Miller-Heidke, Paul Kelly, Katie Noonan, Tim Freedman, The Whitlams, Kasey Chambers, Washington and Ben Lee.

Buckingham will start sharing tracks from 𝗤𝘂𝗶𝗲𝘁 𝗥𝗲𝘃𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 in November 2024. The entire EP set for release March 2025 - coinciding with the start of her national tour.
