Having spent two years rebuilding a Georgian farmhouse in the wild Welsh countryside, Rebecca
Rose Harris and Franklin Mockett filled their car with a refined selection of instruments and a
tape machine and headed to France for a three week residency in early 2020. However, the world had different ideas and before the end of the first week they were given a simple choice: head home immediately or stay and ride out the incoming lockdown which would force the closure of all borders indefinitely.

They decided to stay and keep working, a decision which would lead to a new record the duo?s second full length album following 2019?s ?Ascension? LP, which was richly championed by Elbow?s Guy Garvey. 'All One Breath?, continues Samana?s enthralling musical journey, weaving between various musical styles and influences, from progressive folk to an experimental,
transcendental take on soul, blues, and rock.

Bound by the limitations of those select few instruments and tape machine they had brought with them, Samana used their work to mirror the environment where it was brought to life.
?We were guided by the pulse and narrative of each song as it came into fruition,? they say of the songwriting experience they undertook,? be that as a subconscious improvisation, or as a deep reflection and rumination on a dream.

?All One Breath? feels to be more of an archipelago than
that of a single world or landscape.? Though many of the songs on ?All One Breath? were improvisations led both by specific moments and the days and nights that Rebecca and Franklin spent wandering the surrounding
hills and forests there is still plenty of structure here. ?The Beach? blends meditative guitar parts with a far more focused vocal, one which
repeats the question ?Should I turn back?? as the darkness of the composition winds around it.

??The Beach? is a song that encompasses expansion. It is an interpretation of empty space; a walk upon a shoreline that stretches in between our waking consciousness and the liminal space of dreams.?

In another world, Samana made a quick getaway back to Wales at the start of 2020 and concocted something entirely different. Thankfully, we have ?All One Breath? an emotional, mysterious, and mesmerising snapshot of a time and place that was, initially, uniquely informed by its own limitations but found its release, its spark and energy in the great depths of intrigue and imagination.

And aren?t we the lucky ones?

Description

The Brunswick has been transformed through an extensive refurbishment programme to become the premier music and arts venue in Hove. The owners are committed to providing quality, value for money and a friendly atmosphere.We believe that a pub is an essential part of any thriving community, and should be seen as a facility for the whole community. By encouraging local groups, we run a range of classes: acting, singing, painting, language, wine tasting; and have become a meeting place for a number of groups. With a large garden and a number of meeting rooms, we can offer space for most clubs, societies or social groups. If your looking for somewhere to host your book group, yoga class, dance class, debating club, and so on, give us a call, or better still, pop in. Support your local pub.

Built in the 1930’s, The Brunswick is a striking building with curved bays, turret roofs and brass crittall style windows. Much of the original paneling (the same as used in the Orient Express) has been rescued and restored, particularly in The Venue. Atmosphere and mood change as you move from the beautifully constructed sunny garden through the airy garden room to the bar (a fusion of the best of modern bar and traditional pub). Despite the high-tech sound and stage equipment, the music and arts Venue with its wood paneling, period lighting and fireplace retains a wonderfully cozy feel. Upstairs we have beautifully decorated rooms for meetings and private parties – see Function Room Hire

We offer a broad range of home cooked food every day. Accolades have included “Restaurant quality food at pub prices”; “The best Sunday Lunch in Brighton”; “As an American, I’m very critical of hamburgers – this is one of the best I’ve had anywhere.”
