Samia Announces New Album ‘Bloodless’, Shares New Song ‘Bovine Excision’

Samia has announced her third album, Bloodless, which will be out on April 25 via Grand Jury. The follow-up to 2022’s Honey is led by the gritty country-rock song ‘Bovine Excision’, of which the singer-songwriter said, “I was drawn to the phenomenon of bloodless cattle mutilation as a metaphor for self-extraction—this clinical pursuit of emptiness.” Below, check out its Sarah Ritter-directed music video, and scroll down for the album cover and tracklist below.

Samia made the new album with co-producers Caleb Wright and Jake Luppen, as well as frequent songwriting partners Christian Lee Hutson and Raffaela. “It’s easier to be what someone wants you to be if you give as little as possible,” she reflected. “I noticed a pattern in my life of wanting to live up to the person I became in someone’s head; you become a lot bigger with distance.”

“I’ve spent the past two decades unintentionally conflating an abstract idea of men with my understanding of God,” Samia added. “The person I became in order to impress this imagined figure is inseparable from who I am today. A significant part of my personality was built around traits and behaviors I believed — whether through observation or hearsay — men would like. With this album, I’ve tried to confront that head-on.”
