The Samps, dudes better known for being part of the “Haunted Graffiti” section of Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti, also happen to be pretty awesome band in their own right. Their cut and paste sampling is buoyed by their slinky funk/pop mix and they have consistently proven to be a fun and interesting band, two things that aren’t surprising considering their other project. The song below, from a recent 12″ out on the Japanese label, isn’t new, but is well worth checking out from this underrated group.
