Exclusive track premiere of ‘Find Out’ by Sam Kogon, taken from his upcoming self-titled 4-track EP, out April 1.

Speaking on the single, Sam wrote: “When I was writing ‘Find Out’ I was trying to capture those fleeting feelings you get when you first are crushing on someone. I recorded a wonky phazed out demo on my multitrack recorder but the song really developed on my last tour of the West Coast where my band was playing it live every night. Somewhere along the tour, I got the idea to make it more country rock à la The Travelling Wilburys and leaned into that when we went to record it in the studio. I had a really fun time tracking all the harmonies and was sure to include all the vocalizations I did on tour as I really wanted to give the song a live sound. It’s a fun little number and I hope people can dance to it, maybe even line dance.”

Kogon wrote and made demo recordings of these four news songs at home on to his 4-track tape recorder. The songs were then arranged with his band feat. Grennan Milliken on drums, James Preston on Bass, Graeme Gengras on keys, and Kogon on vocals and guitar. The EP was recorded and produced by John Agnello (Dinosaur Jr., Kurt Vile) at Stewart Lerman’s Hobo Sound Studios in Weehawken, NJ. His partnership with Agnello came about in a somewhat roundabout way. After coming off three self-booked US/Canadian tours, Kogon was cast as a featured extra in Martin Scorsese’s crime epic The Irishman as a backing musician for Jerry Vale, played in the film by Steven van Zandt. He hit it off with music supervisor Stewart Lerman and, after sending some demos along, received a recommendation for working with Agnello. The sessions were assisted by Jeremy Delaney and James Frazee. The songs were mastered by Steve Fallone (Arcade Fire, Angel Olsen, Big Thief).
