Every Season, the title track, opens this album with an insistent, droning rhythm, a rising, multi-voiced melody line, and, in the background, a floaty, swirling flute. With the subtle banjo tones and maybe a sitar way off in the mountains, we could be back in Rishikesh with George and Ravi, the song evoking the magic of the seasons and what they teach us about the passage of time. The reprise that follows has us dancing in the autumn sun, the mystic eastern rhythms speeding up as the track closes, tricking us concerning the nature of time. This vivid and intense album uplifts us through its positive lyrics, mystical eastern instrumentation, and soaring voices. The listener feels transported, transcendent.

This is Sam Burchfield’s eighth full-length album, and considering he’s only been making records for a little over ten years, that’s some going. Growing up in South Carolina and now based in Athens, Georgia, last year’s album Nature Speaks, Burchfield’s first release on Cloverdale Records, served as something of a breakout record. This led to tours with artists such as Evan Honer and The Strumbellas, and for this new record he reconnected with the same producers, Ryan Plumley and Jason Kingsland. “I had been around the industry and worked with enough people that when I connected with those guys, I knew it felt right”, says Burchfield. The album cover of Every Season is based on a drawing by his first-born son. “My wife brought it over to me and was like, ‘What about this for the album?'” With collaboration from his friend Becca Payne, the final artwork was created: “It’s messy and alive, exactly how I want these songs to feel.”

This latest record has a luminescent quality, both in the sense of the brightness of the music but also in terms of the way it lightens our step towards some weighty topics. It has a flow driven by its main guiding influences: family life, a love of one’s children, and spiritual awareness. It’s also a very colourful record, synesthetically weaving through the rainbow, green and blue dominating. In a recent slightly ironic social media post, Burchfield says, “I hope you’re not watching this and that you’re outside crunching leaves”. The appreciation of simple things which are right in front of us, and not being mesmerised by socials and other distractions, feels like a core takeaway.

After the mystic east of the opening track, a hair-raising Lennon-esque double-fantasy vocal grabs us on Green and Blue. The ponderous tempo, along with its explorative, meandering bassline, compels the listener to relax. If you weren’t sitting or even lying down when this track begins, you should be by the time it finishes. Nothing Last Forever poppily bobs and weaves, Burchfield’s considerable vocal range lifting him to those searing high notes. One More Setting Sun has an infectious refrain, “Another Lifetime with you”, and in his light-touch way, he eulogises the importance of togetherness. In less expert hands, the lyric “I wanna be dying with you” could bring the mood down somewhat, yet Burchfield artfully succeeds in keeping us positive.

Paradise, the sixth track, feels like a spiritual collation of the key messages in the record. You can picture him at the altar crying out to a higher power, “Take me to your temple, Bring me to my knees”. The very deliberate lyric “Do you know the feeling of paradise” suggests a degree of divine inspiration. Looking For Love has a Truman Sinclair vibe, as he recalls losing and finding his way. The band rocks out more on this one, showing some nice instrumental flourishes. Burchfield mentioned that on this album he wanted more energy, and this is ably supplied by a full band which includes Ben Hackett, Robby Handley and Marlon Patten. Judah Blue (again the colours, the colours) is the latest single and is a tender, sweet ode written on the eve of the birth of his son.

Rising Tide has a lilting triple-time meter with a David Gray-like vocal which again contemplates togetherness and coping with obstacles, in this case the metaphorical rise of the tide. The album closes with I’ll Be With You Again. The refrain of the talking trees and singing winds at the end is a nice touch and leads the album to a comforting and logical conclusion. There is, however, a slightly disconcerting end which suggests the plug has been pulled, and maybe the dreamy loveliness of it all was an illusion all along, and we’re back to the grim, slimy reality of life. Hopefully not Sam.

In reviewing this record, it became clear that repeated listens are rewarded with new insights and new discoveries. This quality suggests that this record will get lots of spins on, as my grandson calls it “the round round“. This record has some infectious, hooky songs, and Burchfield has a real ear for a captivating melody and a gift for dealing with significant life themes, gently and sympathetically. Sometimes it feels like the record could do with a little more grit to pull us back down to earth, yet maybe this is Burchfield’s point. There is enough grit and slime in the world to ground us, bury us. Burchfield is raising us above that and helping us to glimpse the beauty. Need a pick-up or to reflect on what you’ve got rather than what you’ve not, then Every Season may be just the thing.
