Samiam release new song ‘Monterey Canyon’

SAMIAM have released a brand new song!

The new song, titled Monterey Canyon, is taken from the American punk rock band’s upcoming new album, Stowaway, which is scheduled to be released later this month.

Speaking about the new song, guitarist Sean Kennerly says, “this song is actually about parenting – octopus parenting that is. They recently discovered a deep sea octopus off the coast of California (in Monterey Canyon) who guards her brood of eggs without eating or leaving their side, nearly a mile beneath the surface, for a record 4 1/2 years – the longest known brooding period of any animal on earth. She basically just sits there guarding the eggs until they’re ready to hatch then she dies and floats off as they come to life. Is it a metaphor? Or an essentialization of the real sacrifices even human parents make in the chain of ongoing life? Or a kinda spooky ghost mom song about a deep sea octopus?”

Stowaway is set for release on March 31st via Pure Noise Records. Pre-orders are available now and can be purchased here.
