Sam Roberts' diverse and elastic rock ‘n' roll includes bubbly sing-alongs, psych-kissed soundscapes and guitar-fuelled ragers. He's indebted to the no-frills approach of classic rock, but also to the shoegaze of Chapterhouse and Tame Impala's experimental pop. These tracks showcase the varied artists who laid the groundwork for the Canadian tunesmith's best—richly textured and always catchy.
