“It’s nice to stretch out and not have to worry about making noise at odd hours,” says Sam Evian about moving from New York to the Catskills. The American songwriter, instrumentalist, and Big Thief producer has even picked up the habit of cold plunging in his rural environs, channeling the clarity and fight-or-flight spontaneity that comes from the shock of the icy temperatures into his music. He wrote his latest album Plunge from the perspective of his jazz musician parents, guided by the limitations of vintage recording equipment and working to tape, the work ethic of the Beatles, and the lyrical skill of Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan, and Neil Young.
