Biography
Variously known as Sam Dust, LA Priest and L.A.
Priest, Sam Eastgate has built a reputation as a subversive, unpredictable
musician, consistently innovating over the course of his work with his now
defunct breakout band Late Of The Pier, his cherished Soft Hair
collaboration with Connan Mockasin as well as his solo work under LA
Priest.
Following the release of 2020's GENE, Sam
received requests to build drum machines around the world, with one correspondent from
Belize eventually inviting him over to work at their studio. And so, at the
beginning of 2021, Sam upped sticks to swap the Welsh borders for central
America, only to find upon arrival in Mexico that he would be unable to
actually get into Belize due to travel restrictions. In that instant, what
would become the third LA Priest album, Fase Luna, changed completely. Featuring the instant LA Priest classic "It's You", the super-chilled opener "On" and the slow and tender "No More", Fase Luna is raw and unfiltered, offering a one-way ticket to another
world.
