Since she began making music in the early '90s, Samara Lubelski has split her time between being a member of bands Hall of Fame, the Sonora Pine, and Tower Recordings (to name a few); a respected contributor on violin and guitar with Fiery Furnaces, MV & EE, and White Magic; a busy recording engineer; a member of avant-garde outfits; a guitarist in Thurston Moore's band Chelsea Light Moving; and a solo artist who has crafted a series of compelling albums that delve into light psychedelia and acid folk. Lubelski released her solo debut, Fleeting Skies, on the Social Registry label in 2004. She returned in 2005 with another collection of intimate and offbeat pop confections, Spectacular of Passages, while 2007 saw the release of the equally kaleidoscopic Parallel Suns, again on Social Registry. During this time she was an in-demand session musician and engineer, working with artists like Fiery Furnaces, MV & EE, White Magic, and Thurston Moore. Thanks to this last connection, she moved to Moore's Ecstatic Peace! for her 2009 album, Future Slip. She fit another solo album into her busy schedule in 2012, releasing Wavelength on the De Stijl label. Soon after, she joined Moore's band Chelsea Light Moving and played guitar on their self-titled 2013 album. Around this time she also began playing in a duo with noise guitarist Marcia Bassett and formed the avant-garde trio Augenmusik. Her next album was a solo violin outing on the Ultra Eczema label titled String Cycle. It came out in 2014 and was followed in 2016 by the baroque pop album The Gilded Raid, which was issued by Drawing Room. She continued to be a steady presence on the N.Y.C. music scene and remained a steady collaborator on Thurston Moore's projects, appearing on his 2017 Rock n Roll Consciousness album and joining his live band. That same year, Lubelski's third collaboration with Bassett, Live NYC, was released by Feeding Tube Records. She swung back to her solo records after that, working with her longtime friends Metabolismus in their studio in Germany and coming up with Flickers at the Station, which was released by Drawing Room in early 2018. ~ James Christopher Monger, Rovi
